Association Between Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function With Postoperative Pain, Narcotics Consumption, and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Following Lumbar Microdiscectomy.
Article in Global spine journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectiveTo determine association between preoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) scores with postoperative pain, narcotics consumption, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following single-level lumbar microdiscectomy.
methodsConsecutive patients who underwent single-level lumbar microdiscectomy were identified from May 2017-May 2020. Patients were grouped by their preoperative PROMIS-PF scores: mild disability (score≥40), moderate disability (score 30-39.9), and severe disability (score<30). Preoperative PROMIS-PF subgroups were tested for association with inpatient postoperative pain, total inpatient narcotics consumption, time to narcotic use cessation as well as improvements in postoperative PROMIS-PF, ODI, VAS-Leg Pain, VAS-Back Pain, SF-12 Physical Component Score (PCS), SF-12 Mental Component Score (MCS) at 2-, 6-, 12-weeks, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year follow-up.
resultsA total of 127 patients were included. Patients with greater disability reported higher inpatient maximum Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores (
conclusionsPatients with greater preoperative disability, as measured by PROMIS-PF, had increased inpatient postoperative pain and narcotics consumption, but also higher improvement from baseline in long-term PROMs. This data can be utilized for patient counseling and setting expectations.
