The accuracy of patient-reported weight prior to total joint arthroplasty and arthroscopy of the lower extremity.

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
purposeThe accuracy of preoperative patient-reported weight was never evaluated in patients undergoing lower extremity procedures. The purpose of this study was to: (1) compare the disparity between patient-reported and measured weights in patients undergoing lower extremity total joint arthroplasty (LE-TJA) and arthroscopy; and (2) investigate the association between patient-specific factors (patient age, BMI, zip code, and psychiatric comorbidities) and the accuracy of patient-reported weight.
methodsPreoperative self-reported weights were retrospectively compared to measured weights in 400 LE-TJA and 85 control arthroscopy patients. The difference between reported and measured weights was calculated. Additionally, the percent of accurate reporting within 0.5, 1, and 5 kg ranges of the measured weight was calculated. Outcomes were compared between surgical modalities as well as between patient-specific factors.
resultsThere was low disparity (p = 0.838) between patient-reported and measured weights among LE-TJA (mean difference 0.18 ± 3.63 kg; p = 0.446) and that of arthroscopy (0.27 ± 4.08 kg; p = 0.129) patients. Additionally, LE-TJA patients were equally likely to report weights accurately within 0.5 kg of the measured weight (74% vs. 71.76%; p = 0.908). LE-TJA and arthroscopy patients had similar reporting accuracy within 1 and 5 kg of the measured weights (p > 0.05).
conclusionPreoperative patient-reported weights demonstrated acceptable accuracy in both LE-TJA and lower extremity arthroscopic orthopaedic patient populations making it a potentially reliable parameter of preoperative assessment.
