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

Objectives: The primary objective was to examine baseline patient activation as a prognostic factor for changes in pain and function following participation in an osteoarthritis management program. The secondary objective was to examine other prognostic factors from existing literature (e.g. employment, functional performance, depression, comorbidities). Method: One-hundred-and-eleven participants with knee osteoarthritis were assessed at 0-, 12- and 26-weeks in this prospective clinical cohort. Demographic variables, timed-up-and-go (TUG), patient activation measure (PAM-13), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were collected. Multivariable linear regression examined relationships between prognostic factors and pain and function at 12- and 26-weeks. Results: Complete 12- and 26-week data were available for 89 and 74 participants respectively, 66 ​% female, 66.8 (SD 10.0) years, 74 ​% unemployed, 66 ​% finished high school or higher, 12 ​% on joint arthroplasty waitlists. Baseline PAM-13 scores were not associated with changes in pain or function at 12- or 26-weeks. Employment status (β ​= ​9.17 (95 ​% CI 2.11, 16.24), p ​= ​0.01) and TUG (β ​= ​-1.20 (95 ​% CI -1.91, -0.49), p ​< ​0.01) were associated with changes in pain at week-12. Employment status (β ​= ​11.60 (95 ​% CI 5.31, 17.90), p ​< ​0.01) and TUG (β ​= ​-1.10 (95%CI -1.78, -0.43), p ​< ​0.01) were associated with 12-week function. Baseline TUG (β ​= ​-1.32 (95 ​% CI -2.40, -0.23), p ​= ​0.02) was associated with week-26 WOMAC function. Conclusions: Baseline PAM-13 scores were not associated with changes in pain and function at any timepoint. Employment status and TUG were associated with changes in pain and function at 12-weeks, TUG was associated with 26-week function.
