Poor patient-reported mental health correlates with inferior patient-reported outcome measures following cervical disc replacement.

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
purposeThis study aims to assess the correlation between the patient-reported mental health and the self-reported outcome measures (PROMs) physical function, pain, and disability at different time points following disc replacement (CDR).
methodsA single-surgeon registry was searched for patients who had undergone CDR, excluding those with indication for infection, cancer, or trauma. One hundred fifty-one patients were included. PROMs were collected preoperatively as well as 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Mental health measures evaluated included 12-Item Short Form (SF-12), Mental Component Score (MCS), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) which were individually assessed via Pearson's correlation tests in relation to Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), SF-12 Physical Component Score (PCS), visual analog scale (VAS) neck and arm pain, and Neck Disability Index (NDI).
resultsSF-12 MCS positively correlated with PROMIS-PF (range: r = 0.369-0.614) and SF-12 PCS (range: r = 0.208-0.585) with significance found at two or more time points for each (p ≤ 0.009, all). SF-12 MCS negatively correlated with VAS neck (range: r = - 0.259 to - 0.464), VAS arm (range: r = - 0.281 to - 0.567), and NDI (range: r = - 0.474 to - 831) with significance found at three or more time points (p ≤ 0.028, all). PHQ-9 significantly negatively correlated with PROMIS-PF (range: r = - 0.457 to - 0.732) and SF-12 PCS (range: r = - 0.332 to - 0.629) at all time points (p ≤ 0.013, all). PHQ-9 positively correlated with VAS neck (range: r = 0.351-0.711), VAS arm (range: r = 0.239-0.572), and NDI (range: r = 0.602-0.837) at four or more periods (p ≤ 0.032, all).
conclusionPatients undergoing CDR who reported lower mental health scores via either SF-12 MCS or PHQ-9 were associated with increased perception of pain and disability. Disability level correlated with mental health at all time periods. Patients with optimized mental health may report higher outcome scores following CDR.
