Measurement Error and Misclassification in Orthopedics: When Study Subjects are Categorized in the Wrong Exposure or Outcome Groups.
Article in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Datasets available for orthopedic research often contain measurement and misclassification errors due to errors in data collection or missing data. These errors can have different effects on the study results. Measurement error refers to inaccurate measurement of continuous variables (eg, body mass index), whereas misclassification refers to assigning subjects in the wrong exposure and/or outcome groups (eg, obesity categories). Misclassification of any type can result in underestimation or overestimation of the association between exposures and outcomes. In this article, we offer practical guidelines to avoid, identify, and account for measurement and misclassification errors. We also provide an illustrative example on how to perform a validation study to address misclassification based on real-world orthopedic data.
