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

backgroundThe Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) physical function rapidly assesses self-reported function capability. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is often used in clinical practice, but administration may be impeded by space and patient limitations. PROMIS CAT can potentially address these limitations, but we lack evidence if TUG and health indicators are predictors of PROMIS CAT. This study assessed whether TUG, body mass index (BMI), numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and smoking status were predictors of PROMIS CAT in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) candidates.

methodsSixty-five TKA candidates completed the PROMIS CAT physical function test using an iPad application. TUG, NPRS, BMI, and smoking status were obtained at the clinic visit or from medical records. Univariate and multiple regression analyses identified the strongest predictors of PROMIS CAT.

resultsTUG was the best predictor of PROMIS CAT physical function based on simple regression (r = -0.43, 95% CI = -0.62 to -0.20) or multiple regression (

conclusionsThe findings suggest that the PROMIS CAT physical function is not a surrogate for the TUG performance-based measure in candidates for TKA. However, TUG was the best predictor of PROMIS physical function compared with BMI, NPRS, and smoking status. Clinicians should consider both patient-reported and performance-based measures when evaluating function for TKA outcomes.
