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.

Abstract

purposeTo identify the prognostic factors for 2-year patient-reported outcomes in middle-aged patients with degenerative meniscal tears treated with exercise therapy (ET) or arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM).

methodsOne hundred and seven patients, with mean age 49.6 (SD 6.2) years and BMI 25.7 (SD 3.7), were included in this analysis of data from the OMEX trial ( http://www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT01002794). Linear and Poisson regression models were built to explore the associations between potential prognostic factors (patient characteristics, knee function-related and disease-related factors) and 2-year patient-reported outcomes: the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales Pain, Symptoms, ADL, Sport/Rec, QoL and 5-point Global Rating of Change scales for knee pain (GRC Pain) and function (GRC Function). Analyses were performed for the whole cohort and for the two treatment groups (n = 55 and 52) with adjustments for age, sex, BMI and baseline KOOS.

resultsFor the whole cohort, a 1-s better baseline 6-m timed hop test result was associated with 3.1-7.1 points better 2-year scores for all KOOS subscales (95% CIs 1.1-5.2 to 4.1-10.1 points). A 1.61-2.80 s better test was associated with scores equivalent to previously calculated clinical relevant differences for each KOOS subscale. For the groups of patients treated with ET and APM, respectively, 2.09-3.60 s and 0.63-1.99 s better tests were associated with clinical relevant differences. For the whole cohort, a 1-s better test was associated with 26% (95% CI 15-38%) and 22% (95% CI 11-34%) higher possibility for better or much better GRC Pain and Function scores. Patients treated with ET had 17% (95% CI 2-33%) increased possibility for better or much better GRC Pain score, and patients treated with APM had 65% (95% CI 32-108%) and 70% (95% CI 38-109%) increased possibility for better or much better GRC Pain and Function scores.

conclusionsThe 6-m timed hop test result was a significant prognostic factor for 2-year patient-reported outcomes in middle-aged patients with degenerative meniscal tears, especially in those treated with APM. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
