Linking fatigue measures on a common reporting metric.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
contextFatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms experienced by patients living with chronic conditions and is also commonly experienced in the general U.S. population. Linking fatigue scores from some of the most widely used measure of fatigue to the same metric will facilitate interpretation of fatigue outcomes.
objectivesThe goal of this study is to report the methods used to develop linking (crosswalk) tables to enable the direct comparison of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Fatigue with fatigue scores on the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale, the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 four-item Vitality Scale, and the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders Fatigue Scale.
methodsParticipants were recruited from two data sets (n=1120 and n=803). Two item response theory-based linking methods, the Stocking-Lord calibration and fixed-parameter calibration, were used to establish linking between measures. The item response theory calibrations were derived using the graded response model.
resultsBoth the Stocking-Lord calibration and fixed-parameter calibration linking methods produced comparable results. Final crosswalk tables are reported for the fixed-parameter calibration.
conclusionFindings can facilitate comparison of scores across some of the most widely used fatigue measures and assist in comparing patient-reported fatigue outcomes in clinical trials, comparative effectiveness research, and clinical practice.
