Does Resilience Correlate with Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Isolated Gastrocnemius Recession.
Article in The Iowa orthopaedic journal, 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: Patients' characteristics, both physical and mental, are proven to have relationships to patient-reported outcomes following orthopaedic surgeries. This study aims to elucidate the impact of resilience, using the Brief Resilience Scale, on patient-reported outcomes following isolated gastrocnemius recession for patients with plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy with secondary exploratory analysis on factors influencing these outcomes. Methods: Patients were selected utilizing the current procedural terminology code 27687 between 2013-2020. The electronic medical record was reviewed for basic demographics. Patients were contacted for patient-reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) scores, foot function index (FFI) scores, and brief resilience scale survey questionnaires. Pearson correlations were used to assess the association of FFI and PROMIS domains. A linear regression model was constructed to evaluate the independent effect of resilience on each FFI and PROMIS outcome instrument. A significance threshold of P < 0.05 was used to determine significance in the regression model. Results: Increased resiliency showed a significant correlation with increased PROMIS physical function (r = 0.46, p<0.0001), decreased PROMIS pain interference (r = -0.043, p < 0.0001), and decreased PROMIS depression (r= -0.04, p < 0.0001). Increased resiliency showed a significant correlation with decreased FFI activity limitation (r= -0.047, p < 0.0001), decreased FFI disability (r = -0.53, p < 0.0001), decreased FFI pain (r = -0.36, p < 0.0001), and decreased FFI total (r= -0.52, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the positive impact resilience has on patient-reported outcomes following isolated gastrocnemius recession for patients with a clinical diagnosis of either Achilles tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis. We were able to show a moderate correlation between higher resiliency and improved PROMIS and FFI scores for all domains. Optimizing resiliency preoperatively may help to optimize an individual's own surgical outcomes and aid physicians in managing patient expectations following surgery.
