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

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and establish reliability and validity of a virtual performance measure (VPM) score that encompassed 10 videos in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Patients' experience and satisfaction were documented. Design: Forty videos were chosen for 10 functional tasks, with four videos showing increasing difficulty for each task. Patients were requested to choose the video that best reflected their own situation. Clinical and radiological findings and self-report and performance measures were completed. Results: Data of 100 patients, 70 (70%) females, mean age: 65 ​± ​9 were examined. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient that examined internal consistency of the VPM score was 0.92. The intraclass correlation value of 0.82 was obtained for test-retest reliability. Factor analysis showed three distinct domains. There was moderate correlations between the VPM score and the self-report and actual performance measures ranging from r ​= ​0.46 to 0.66. The VPM summated score of 10 activities was able to differentiate between candidates and non-candidates for knee arthroplasty, with the area under the curve value of 0.90 indicating excellent predictive validity. The overall patient experience and satisfaction was positive with 67% of participants feeling that virtual care could have an impact on minimizing physical presence in the clinic or hospital. Conclusions: The VPM is a reliable and valid outcome measure in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint. This digital tool has the potential to transform osteoarthritis care by providing a valid remote measurement of real-life functional limitations and reduce the burden of time consuming in-person tests.
