Primary Care Patient Engagement With Patient-Reported Outcomes to Assess Osteoarthritis Symptoms.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic condition in the United States, significantly impacting quality of life and health-care costs. Disparities in OA treatment across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups highlight the importance of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in managing under-treated populations. This study assessed the feasibility of using a text message-based system to collect patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on knee OA prevalence and symptom severity among FQHC primary care patients. Methods: A multimethod pilot study invited 223 FQHC patients with knee OA via text to complete a PRO survey on knee pain and function. Nonresponders received text and phone reminders. Researchers evaluated response rates, reasons for noncompletion, and patient perspectives on symptom monitoring. Results: Overall, 24.7% of patients completed the PRO survey-28% among English speakers and 17% among Spanish speakers. The most common barrier was disconnected phone numbers. Qualitative feedback from both responders and nonresponders showed strong support (92%) for ongoing symptom monitoring. Responders found the survey user-friendly, while nonresponders noted technical and trust-related challenges. Conclusions: Text message-based PRO collection is a feasible and acceptable method for knee OA symptom tracking in FQHCs. While the approach is scalable and well-received, patient education about the purpose of PROs is essential. Improved communication and accessibility strategies are recommended to increase engagement and fully leverage PROs for managing chronic conditions in low-resource settings.
