1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionHigh tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an operation used to treat patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. The United Kingdom Knee Osteotomy Registry (UKKOR) has been set up to gather contemporaneous data on HTO throughout the patient journey. UKKOR uses a variety of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to gauge the surgical outcome.

aimThe aim of this review is to analyse the published literature that has used PROMs to assess the outcomes following HTO. METHODOLOGY: Two searches of the literature were performed and compiled highlighting 95 articles of interest. After screening and manual additions, 23 manuscripts were reviewed and appraised using the appropriate Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Checklist (Kai et al. in PLoS Med 4(11):1766-1775, 2007). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: There is a variety of published literature on HTO with a varied approach to the use of PROMs. Their use has increased recently, and studies have demonstrated that they are appropriate assessment tools for monitoring outcomes following HTO. In all of the studies that compared pre-operative to post-operative PROMs, there have been significant improvements. However, the data are varied due to differing study designs which in some instances have significant limitations.

conclusionPROMs are effective ways to measure outcomes following HTO. They can also be useful in predicting outcome. The heterogeneity of the data and limitations of the study designs limit the transferability of the data. It is therefore important to analyse data from a multi-surgeon, multi-centre source that uses robust and constant pre- and post-operative PROMs.
