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) computer adaptive testing (CAT) is a patient-reported outcome metric that has been validated for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, ACL reconstructions, and meniscal injuries. Thus far, the system has not been validated for multiligament knee injuries. The Multiligament Quality of Life (MLQOL) questionnaire is a validated, disease-specific patient-reported outcome instrument for this population that can serve as a gold standard for validation of the newer PROMIS. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to further validate the PROMIS CAT for multiligament knee reconstruction. We hypothesized that the PROMIS CAT modules would correlate with the Lysholm knee score (Lysholm), Tegner activity scale (Tegner), and MLQOL for postoperative multiligamentous knee injury patients and that the PROMIS CAT would use fewer question items than the Lysholm, Tegner, and MLQOL while still avoiding floor and ceiling effects. STUDY

designCohort study; Level of evidence, 2.

methodsA total of 30 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were retrospectively identified and agreed to participate (87% male; mean ± SD age, 36.3 ± 13.5 years). Consenting patients were administered the Lysholm, Tegner, MLQOL, and PROMIS CAT for Physical Function, Mobility, and Pain Interference. Spearman correlations were used to test agreement across survey instruments. Floor and ceiling effects were assessed for all instruments.

resultsPROMIS Pain Interference had excellent correlation with MLQOL Activity Limitations (

conclusionThe PROMIS CAT correlates well with existing outcome measures for multiligament knee injury patients without floor or ceiling effects. The PROMIS CAT is a concise adjunct to the validated injury-specific outcome tool for multiligament knee injury. Surgeons should consider implementing the PROMIS CAT because of its broad validity, including ACL injuries, meniscal tears, and now multiligament knee injuries.
