The Stanmore Limb Reconstruction Score : validation of a novel patient-reported outcome measure.
Article in Bone & joint open, 2026. 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
Aims: The Stanmore Limb Reconstruction Score (SLRS) has been developed to capture the unique perspective of patients undergoing deformity correction. In this multiphase mixed method approach, face validity has previously been established. This study presents the next stage of validation and illustrates the evolution of this novel patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). Methods: All patients aged ≥ 18 years, undergoing deformity correction, who met the inclusion criteria were recruited, between March 2021 and January 2025. Data were collected at significant timepoints over the patients' treatment journey. In accordance with the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidance, construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the SLRS was investigated. Results: A total of 62 patients were included in the analysis. Diverse demographic background, with heterogenous pathologies and varied surgical interventions, made this a representative population of limb reconstruction patients. Convergent validity was established with statistically significant correlations between American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)-lower-limb ( Conclusion: This study provides evidence of construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness for the SLRS. Field-test, through collaborative work, is necessary for further validation. This has the potential to deliver a unified outcome assessment tool in adult limb reconstruction surgery, to inform evidence-based clinical care.
