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

The demand has increased for evidence regarding the effectiveness and value of prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation interventions. Clinicians and managers are under pressure to provide treatment recommendations and demonstrate effectiveness through outcomes. It is often assumed that rehabilitation interventions, including the provision of custom-made and custom-fit orthotic and prosthetic devices, are beneficial to patients. Assessing the value of orthotic and prosthetic services has become more critical to continue to ensure equitable access to needed services. Health economics and outcomes research methods serve as tools to gauge the value of prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation interventions. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the current need of health economics and outcomes research in orthotics and prosthetics, to introduce common economic methods that assist to generate real-world evidence, and to discusses the potential value of economic methods for clinicians and clinical practice.
