Patient-reported assessment of outcome after surgery for bone metastases.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Regardless of prognosis, surgery is often considered in metastatic bone disease (MBD) as a palliative procedure to improve function and quality of life. Traditional focus on objective outcomes such as mortality is inappropriate in this group, and there is a drive to assess outcomes via patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). This is an overview of current understanding of MBD outcomes and how this should influence future decision-making and research. The objectives of this review were to identify difficulties in measuring PROMs in the MBD patient population and explore alternatives to patientreported outcomes. We also provide an overview of current understanding of outcomes in MBD and how this should influence decision-making and direct research.
