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

introductionCases of knee osteoarthritis are on the rise in India with an increasingly ageing population. A large number among them shall undergo total knee replacement, so there is a requirement for validated patient-reported outcome measures in the Hindi language. Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is one of the most commonly used patient-reported outcome measure scoring systems. The current study was designed to test and validate cross-cultural adaptation and translate the Hindi version of the Oxford Knee Score (OKS-H).  Material and Methods: The OKS-H was formulated as per recommendations for cross-cultural adaptation and translation. The OKS was tested on 162 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent a total knee replacement. Reliability of the OKS-H was tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. The construct validity was assessed using OKS-H, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaire.  Results: The translation was performed with no major difficulty. The OKS was completed by 158 (97.5%) and 157 (96.9%) patients at test and retest, respectively, after one week. With an ICC of 0.87, OKS had shown good reliability. The construct validity obtained against the WOMAC and SF-36 scores was strong (ICC between 0.49 to 0.86).

conclusionThe translated OKS-H is a reliable and valid instrument for patient-reported outcome measures in cases of knee osteoarthritis opting for total knee arthroplasty.
