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

Knee range of motion and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are often used as screening tools to assess the severity of knee osteoarthritis and guide the decision to refer patients to an arthroplasty clinic. However, there is little understanding regarding the correlation between these factors. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between patient-reported clinical function measured with the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), pain assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS), knee range of motion (ROM), and characteristic radiographic features in patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the knee. A prospective analysis of a consecutive series of 138 patients with advanced unilateral osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee was performed. The severity of radiographic OA was classified according to the most commonly used Kellgren and Lawrence classification (K&L). Spearman's rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. The OKS was used as a dependent variable and was adjusted for pain, ROM, and nine standardized radiographic parameters on multiple views of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint. OKS and pain correlated weakly with the K&L grade (r = -0.289;
