Performance-Based Outcome Measures After Hip or Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Content Analysis Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
Synthesis in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
rationalOne of the important considerations to select the appropriate outcome measures is determining if the tool is relevant to patients. Despite the availability of various performance-based tests to objectively assess function, it is unknown which performance-based tests best capture important aspects of function after hip or knee arthroplasty. AIMS AND
objectivesOur systematic review aimed to identify the existing performance-based tests used in hip or knee arthroplasty and link the activity component of each test to the modified International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for osteoarthritis (OA).
methodWe searched four databases from inception until April 2024. A performance-based test was included if an individual performs one or more activities, evaluated by an assessor and resulted in a numerical value. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data and assessed the included performance-based tests.
resultsFrom 449 studies included in this review, we identified 28 performance-based tests which covered 15 categories of OA core set activity and participation. The categories of d4500:walking short distances, d4104:standing and d4103:sitting were the most frequently used, employed in 14, 10 and 10 performance-based tests, respectively. However, 34 categories of activity and participation were not found in any performance-based tests. A-test ('A' like Activity or Assessment) had the widest coverage covering 10 out of 49 core set categories. Four performance tests covered four activity and participation categories, one covered three categories, 10 covered two categories and 12 covered one category.
conclusionOur ICF-based content analysis revealed that the existing performance-based tests covered certain OA core set activity and participation categories, but overlooked multiple categories. This analysis can serve as a guide for researchers and clinicians in selecting suitable performance-based tests or a battery of tests to assess function following hip or knee arthroplasty.
