Patient-Reported Outcomes Before and After Hallux Valgus Surgery: 2-Year Results From a National Registry Study.

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: Hallux valgus (HV) is a common condition associated with pain, functional limitations, and reduced health-related quality of life. Population-level data on 2-year results of surgical treatment remain limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) before surgery, and 1- and 2-year follow-up in patients registered in the Swedish quality registry for foot and ankle surgery ("Swefoot") who underwent surgery for HV. Further, the relation between PROMs and HV severity, BMI, and smoking habits was explored. Methods: Seven hundred sixty-five feet from 742 patients (median age 58, 87% women) who underwent primary surgery for HV were included. Data on demographics, comorbidities, HV severity, surgical procedures, and PROMs were extracted. PROMs included the Self-Reported Foot and Ankle score (SEFAS), EuroQol 5-dimensional, 3-level (EQ-5D), and satisfaction regarding surgery, appearance, shoe wear, and pain. Results: At both 1- and 2-year follow-ups, approximately 80% of responding patients reported satisfaction with the surgical outcome (80.4% and 81.0%, respectively). Patients reported significant improvements in SEFAS scores: mean increase of 10 points (95% CI 9.1-10.4) at 1 year and 11 points (95% CI 9.8-11.2) at 2 years compared to baseline. Health-related quality of life also improved significantly; EQ-5D VAS was improved with 7 (95% CI 5-8) after 1 year and EQ-5D index was improved with 0.19 (95% CI 0.17-0.21). The EQ-5D VAS and index did not change significantly between the 1- and 2-year follow-ups.Significant improvements were also reported in satisfaction with appearance, shoe wear, and pain. Regardless of HV grade, the patients had similar improvement in SEFAS. Overweight/obese patients experienced similar improvements as underweight/normal BMI ones. Smokers showed significantly less improvement in SEFAS. Conclusion: This population-based study using the Swefoot registry data demonstrates that patients surgically treated for HV reported significant improvements in PROMs from before surgery to 1 and 2 years after surgery. Level of Evidence: Level II, prognostic study.
