Risk factors for non-compliance of patient reported outcome measures following achilles tendon repair surgery.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 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
Background: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are increasingly utilized in orthopaedic research and assess the patient's response to care, allow for assessment of the patient's overall health, and provide tools to promote the shared decision-making process. Our hypothesis is that risk factors for non-compliance is increasing age and increasing time after surgery. Methods: PROMs compliance was conducted from survey data of 90 individuals from May 2017 to July 2023 who had Achilles tendon surgery. After completion of surgical intervention, patients received electronic notification with a link to complete their own patient reported outcomes survey preoperatively, and at 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up time points. Compliance by timepoint was calculated as the proportion of patients who completed the surveys compliantly relative to the total eligible cohort offered to participate in the survey. Results: The median age at time of surgery was 50 years [IQR 38 to 61], and the majority were male (60%). For every year increase in age at treatment, the odds of compliance increased by approximately 4.1% (OR = 0.96, 95% CI [1.00, 0.93], p = 0.047). Compliance with PROMs was highest at 3-months postoperative (77%). Patients who identified as "Not Hispanic or Latino" were approximately 3.22 times less likely to be non-compliant with the survey completion (OR = 0.31, 95% CI [0.97, 0.099], p = 0.046) at two years. Self-reported race, language, and sex at birth did not demonstrate statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Our hypothesis was rejected because within our study, younger age had the highest non-compliance with PROMs. Also, compliance did not decrease at every timepoint after surgery. Those identifying their ethnicity as "Hispanic or Latino" had the highest non-compliance with PROMs. Surgeons need to identify patients who are at risk for non-compliance to ensure those patients participate in completion of the outcome instrument. Level of evidence: lll Retrospective Cohort Study.
