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

aimTo perform validation of the Romanian Knee disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOSJR).

methodNinety-six patients (101 knees) with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) scheduled for total knee replacement completed Romanian translations of KOOSJR and IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee - subjective knee form) and Euroqol EQ-5D-5 L, and the treating physician completed the original knee society score (KSS).

resultsAverage age was 66.4 (range 50-83) years and male to female ratio 1:3.76. There was moderate correlation between the test-retest (average 4 days) KOOSJR (r = 0.618, n = 45) and IKDC (r = - 0.671, n = 99), weak between KOOSJR and EQ-5D-5 L Index (r = - 0.431, n = 100) and VAS (r = - 0.364, n = 99) and very weak to KSS score (r = - 0.133, n = 98) and function (r = - 0.072, n = 97) For the first KOOSJR, Cronbach's alpha was 0.816 and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.816 (95% CI 0.755-0.866) for average measures. For the retest, Cronbach's alpha was 0.841 (95% CI 0.760-0.903) for averages.

conclusionThe Romanian Knee disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOSJR) is a valid, reliable, consistent and reproducible clinical score for patients with OA requiring arthroplasty.
