Responsiveness and Minimally Important Changes for Persian-version of Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire in Patients with Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy Following Physiotherapy Intervention.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2022. 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
Background: Evaluating responsiveness and calculating minimally important change (MIC) for the Persian-version of the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire following physiotherapy in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET). Methods: We enrolled 82 patients with LET to complete the PRTEE. After completing four weeks of physiotherapy, all patients were reevaluated by the PRTEE. The patients also rated their changes on a 7-point global rating of change scale (GRoC). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and correlation analysis were used for evaluating the responsiveness. The MIC was determined by determining a desirable cutoff on the ROC curve. Results: The results showed a moderate relationship (Spearman's correlation coefficient= 0.43-0.56) of total PRTEE, pain subscale, and function subscale with the GRoC scale. The total PRTEE, pain subscale, and function subscale revealed an area under the curve of 0.87, 0.82, and 0.83, respectively. We found the MICs 31.33, 14.5, and 15.5 points for total PRTEE, pain subscale, and function subscale, respectively. Conclusion: The Persian-version of the PRTEE questionnaire has acceptable responsiveness and can measure changes in patients with LET following physiotherapy. We advocate using the PRTEE questionnaire in both clinical settings and research.
