Defining the minimal clinically important difference for IKDC and KOOS scores for patients undergoing tibial tubercle osteotomy for patellofemoral pain or instability.

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
Purpose: The aim of the present study is to define the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for patients undergoing tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) for either (1) patellofemoral pain or (2) patellar instability. Methods: Patients undergoing TTO for either patellofemoral pain or patellar instability by one of two sports medicine fellowship-trained surgeons at a single institution between September 2014 and May 2023 were included in the study. IKDC and KOOS scores were collected preoperatively and minimum 1 year postoperatively. Distribution-based methods were used to calculate the MCID. Results: Seventy-seven patients (82 knees) were included, with a median age of 29.3 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 22.2-36.3 years) and a median BMI of 24.5 kg/m Conclusion: We define the MCIDs for commonly used patient-reported outcome measures for patients undergoing TTO for either patellofemoral pain or patellar instability. Level of Evidence: Level II.
