KOOS score maps were externally validated to inform knee arthroplasty shared decision making.

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
purposeThe Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Survey (KOOS) profile of outcome measures are among the most commonly used outcome measures in knee arthroplasty (KA). The purpose was to develop and externally validate "score maps" (one-page figural depictions of most likely scores) for KOOS Pain and Function subscales to facilitate a variety of clinical decisions related to shared decision making prior to KA.
methodsPresurgical KA data collected within 1 year of surgery and obtained in two independent studies were used in this cross-sectional study. Score maps were designed to be easily understandable, single-page graphical depictions of predicted KOOS Pain, and KOOS Function, daily activity subscales. To create the score maps, individual item scores from one dataset were used to determine the most probable responses for each item for the entire range of possible scores. Predicted KOOS score maps were derived from Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) data and externally validated using an independent single site KA cohort study. Score map predicted scores from OAI were compared to actual presurgical KOOS subscale scores using Weighted Kappa (Κ
resultsThe score maps derived from OAI and applied to actual scores in the validation sample demonstrated moderate to substantial chance-corrected agreement for both KOOS Pain and KOOS Function, daily activity subscale items. For example, KOOS Pain score map scores applied to the external validation dataset showed chance-corrected agreement with Κ
conclusionsScore maps derived from OAI data agreed with actual KOOS scores obtained on an independent dataset at an acceptable degree of precision. Easy-to-use KOOS Pain and Function, daily activity score maps have potential to facilitate a variety of important clinical decisions during discussions between patients and surgeons prior to KA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III prognostic study.
