High correlation of the Oxford Knee Score with postoperative pain, but not with performance-based functioning.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a widely known patient-related outcome measure (PROM) to determine pain and knee functioning before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Self-reported function is mainly influenced by change in pain; therefore, it was hypothesized that the OKS correlates more with pain than with performance-based functioning.
methodsIn a prospective cohort of 88 patients, who had a cementless mobile-bearing TKA, included in a randomized clinical trial, the correlation between the overall OKS, and its subscales for pain (PCS) and function (FCS), with performance-based functioning using the DynaPort
resultsAll scores improved over time. The DKS was influenced by sex, preoperative BMI and age. The internal consistency of the OKS PCS increased over time, whereas the OKS FCS remained the same. The mean postoperative OKS FCS showed moderate correlation with the DKS (r = 0.65, p < 0.001), and the mean postoperative OKS and OKS PCS showed high correlation with the VAS (r = -0.79 and r = -0.82, respectively, p < 0.001). The mean postoperative KSS showed high correlations with the OKS (r = 0.80, p < 0.001), the OKS PCS (r = 0.72 p < 0.001) and OKS FCS (r = 0.74, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe postoperative OKS and the OKS PCS showed high correlation with pain, but only the postoperative OKS FCS was well correlated with performance-based functioning. This suggests that the OKS is more related to pain and tells us less on postoperative functioning. This is important when the OKS as PROM is used to evaluate the quality of orthopaedic care of patients with TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
