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

backgroundPatients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) tend to be younger and tend to receive TKA at an earlier stage compared to 20 years ago. The Oxford Knee Score - Activity and Participation (OKS-APQ) questionnaire evaluates higher levels of activity and participation, reflecting activity patterns of younger or more active people. The purpose of this study was to translate the OKS-APQ questionnaire into Dutch, and to evaluate its measurement properties in pre- and postoperative TKA patients.

methodsThe OKS-APQ was translated and adapted according to the forward-backward translation multi step approach and tested for clinimetric quality. Floor and ceiling effects, structural validity, construct validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated using COSMIN quality criteria. The OKS-APQ, the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were assessed in 131 patients (72 preoperative and 59 postoperative TKA patients), and the OKS-APQ was administered twice in 50 patients (12 preoperative and 38 postoperative TKA patients), after an interval of minimal 2 weeks.

resultsFloor effects were observed in preoperative patients. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) indicated a good fit of a 1-factor model by the following indices: (Comparative Fit Index (CFI): 0.97, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI): 0.96 and Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR): 0.03). Construct validity was supported as > 75% of the hypotheses were confirmed. Internal consistency (Cronbach α's from 0.81 to 0.95) was good in the pooled and separate pre- and postoperative samples and test-retest reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) from 0.63 - 0.85) were good in postoperative patients and moderate in preoperative patients. The standard Error of Measurements (SEMs) ranged from 8.5 - 12.2 and the Smallest Detectable Changes in individuals (SDC

conclusionsPreliminary findings suggest that the Dutch version of the OKS-APQ is reliable and valid for a Dutch postoperative TKA patient sample. However, in a preoperative TKA sample, the OKS-APQ seems less suitable, because of floor effects and lower test-retest reliability. The Dutch version of the OKS-APQ can be used alongside the OKS to discriminate among levels of activity and participation in postoperative patients.
