Radiological Stage of Hemophilic Arthropathy of Knee Does Not Correlate With Clinical Variables.

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
backgroundVarious functional and radiological systems have been developed to evaluate joint health and the severity of arthropathy in hemophilic patients. Clinical relevance of these radiological systems has received minimal attention.
methodsThrough a retrospective chart review, 84 patients with end-stage hemophilic arthropathy of the knee were included. Pettersson and Arnold-Hilgartner scores were assessed by two observers. Correlation between radiological stage and range of motion (ROM), KSS function subscores, KSS pain subscores, total KSS, and surgical time were analyzed.
resultsInterobserver correlation was found to be very strong for Pettersson score, with a value of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.75-0.89) and moderate for the Arnold-Hilgartner with kappa value of 0.4 (95% CI: 0.17-0.62). Correlation between Pettersson score and clinical variables revealed a very weak inverse correlation with ROM (r = -0.12, 95% CI: -0.33 to 0.10), KSS pain (r = -0.09, 95% CI: -0.31 to 0.12), and KSS function (r = -0.16, 95% CI: -0.36 to 0.06), and weak inverse correlation with KSS (r = -0.24, 95% CI: -0.44 to 0.2). Regarding the correlation between Arnold-Hilgartner score, a weak inverse correlation was observed with ROM (r = -0.21, 95% CI: -0.41 to 0.00), and very weak inverse correlations with KSS pain (r = -0.06, 95% CI: -0.16 to 0.27), KSS function (r = -0.00, 95% CI: -0.22 to 0.21), and KSS (r = -0.04, 95% CI: -0.25 to 0.18).
conclusionRadiologic staging systems demonstrate weak correlation with clinically meaningful variables in patients with end-stage hemophilic arthropathy of knee, an important consideration in the management of hemophilic arthropathy.
