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

We aim to validate the "Modified Forgotten Joint Score" (MFJS) as a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) in hip and knee arthroplasty, against the UK's gold standard Oxford Hip and Knee Scores (OHS/OKS). The original Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) (12 items) was created to assess post-arthroplasty joint awareness. We modified the FJS to 10-items to improve its reliability. Postal questionnaires were sent out to 400 total hip or knee replacement (THR/TKR) patients who were 1-2 years' post-op, along with the OHS/OKS. Data, collected from the 212 returned questionnaires (53% response rate), was analysed in relation to construct and content validity. A sub-cohort of 77 patients took part in a test-retest repeatability study, to assess reliability of the MFJS. The MFJS proved to have an increased discriminatory power in high-performing patients in comparison to the OHS and OKS. 30.8% of TKR patients (n = 131) scored highly (87.5% or more) in the OKS compared to just 7.69% in the MFJS TKR patients. The MFJS proved to have increased test-retest repeatability, based upon its intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.968 compared to the Oxford's 0.845, p < 0.001. The MFJS is a more relevant tool, compared to the FJS, with greater discrimination in the assessment of well performing hip and knee arthroplasties in comparison to the OHS/OKS.
