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

introductionTo investigate the validity of Barthel Index (BI) compared with de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI), EuroQol-visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), 2-min walk test (2MWT), and timed get-up-and-go test (TUG), and to evaluate the responsiveness of all outcome measures for assessing functional recovery in older patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture. MATERIAL AND

methodEighty-one femoral neck fracture patients who were enrolled in a study evaluating functional recovery after bisphosphonate therapy during 2013 to 2015, and who had data available at both baseline and 12 months after surgery were included in this study.

resultsAll scores improved significantly from baseline to the 1-year follow-up. BI had moderate to strong correlation with DEMMI, 2MWT, and TUG (r-value: 0.490-0.843), and mild to moderate correlation with EQ-VAS (r-value: 0.278-0.323). All outcome measurements had high effect estimates. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of BI at 12 months was 9.8 points.

conclusionSince BI was shown to have good validity (moderate to strong correlation with DEMMI and performance-based tests, and mild to moderate correlation with EQ-VAS), BI can be used to accurately assess functional recovery in patients who undergo hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture.
