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

purposeThe 9-item Oswestry Disability Index version 2.1a (ODI-9) has never been formally validated in children. Our primary purpose was to evaluate the ODI-9 using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Pain Interference (PI) and Mobility Computer Adapted Test (CAT) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Children (PCS-C) as anchors to determine concurrent validity in children.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed cross-sectional patient-reported outcomes data using a convenience sample of children referred to a tertiary pediatric orthopedic institution for any spine condition from April 2021 to April 2022. The ODI-9, PI, and Mobility were completed at clinic intake in 2,097 children (1453 girls, 644 boys) aged 14.2 ± 2.6 years (range 5-18 years) during the same visit. The ODI-9 was administered when children or caregivers responded "yes" to the presence of back pain. The PCS-C was administered only when pain intensity was rated as "very severe" or "the worst imaginable" on Item 1 of the ODI-9 (n = 51).

resultsAverage ODI-9 scores were 18.3% ± 14.8%, indicating minimal disability (ODI-9 ≤ 20%). Moderate, statistically and clinically significant associations were seen between the ODI-9 and PI (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), the ODI-9 and Mobility (r = - 0.68, p < 0.001), and the ODI-9 and PCS-C (r = 0.59, p < 0.001).

conclusionWorse ODI-9 scores correlate with worse PROMIS PI scores, worse PROMIS Mobility scores, and worse PCS-C scores. The associations were moderate (PROMIS PI [r = 0.68], PROMIS Mobility [r = - 0.68], PCS-C [r = 0.59]).
