Preoperative PROMIS Physical Function Scores Predict Postoperative Outcomes Following Total Ankle Replacement.
Article in Foot & ankle orthopaedics, 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
backgroundDespite good evidence that supports significant improvements in pain and physical function following a total ankle replacement (TAR) for end-stage ankle arthritis, there is a subset of patients who do not significantly benefit from surgery. The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary analysis to determine if preoperative Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores could be used to predict which patients were at risk of not meaningfully improving following a TAR.
methodsProspectively collected preoperative and ≥2-year postoperative PROMIS physical function, pain interference, pain intensity, and depression scores for 111 feet in 105 patients were included in the study. Significant postoperative improvement was defined using minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs). Logistic regression models and area under the curve (AUC) analyses were used to determine whether preoperative PROMIS scores were predictive of postoperative outcomes.
resultsReceiver operating characteristic curves found statistically significant AUCs for the PROMIS physical function (AUC = 0.728,
conclusionPreoperative PROMIS physical function and pain intensity LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative series.
