Nuts and Bolts of Patient-Reported Outcomes in Orthopaedics.
Review in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2023. 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
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are commonly used in orthopaedic clinical practice, comparative effectiveness research (CER), and label claims. In this paper, we provide an overview of PROs, their development, validation, and use in orthopaedic research with examples and conclude with practical guidelines for researchers and reviewers. We discuss considerations for conceptual framework, validity, reliability, factor analysis, and measurement of change with Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome score (KOOS), as an example. We also describe advantages of instruments developed based on item response theory and statistical analyses for data collected using PRO measures.
