1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and purposeIt is unknown how Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) corresponds to physical abilities and common performance-based measures of function in patients with neurologic conditions/disorders in outpatient, ambulatory settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between PROMIS-PF and common performance-based measures of function in patients with neurologic conditions receiving outpatient physical therapy (PT).

methodsA retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted from 11 outpatient neurologic PT clinics within a large health care system between 12/2/2019 and 12/30/2022. Adult patients with neurologic conditions who had at least one performance-based functional measure [Timed up and go (TUG), 5 times sit to stand (5 × STS), and 10-m walk test (10 MWT)] and one PROMIS-PF score within 7 days were included. Pearson correlations and linear regression models were used to examine the relationships between the PROMIS-PF and performance-based measures.

resultsIn our study of 1712 patients (average age 59 (SD 16) years, 44% male, 81% white race), there was a moderate relationship between PROMIS-PF and TUG and PROMIS-PF and 5 × STS (r = -0.31 and -0.38, respectively; p < 0.001). There was a strong association between PROMIS-PF and 10 MWT (r = 0.60; p < 0.001). In linear regression models, the variation in PROMIS-PF explained by the performance measures was the highest for 10 MWT (34.8%), followed by 5 × STS, and TUG (13.5% and 9%, respectively). DISCUSSION: Results demonstrated moderate associations between PROMIS-PF and performance-based measures. Both types of measures provide complementary clinical information for outpatients with neurological conditions.
