Applying the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System to Assess Upper Extremity Function among Children with Congenital Hand Differences.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundFew studies have evaluated self-assessment tools among children with congenital hand differences. The authors compared three upper extremity disability instruments with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Upper Extremity Item Bank.
methodsThirty-three children (aged 6 to 17 years) with congenital hand differences completed the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument; the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire; the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire; and the PROMIS Upper Extremity short form and computerized adaptive test. Hand function was also assessed, and construct validity and feasibility were examined.
resultsPROMIS demonstrated good construct validity. Short form and computerized adaptive test were highly correlated with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire scores (r = 0.80, p < 0.001) and Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument domains (r = 0.70, p < 0.001). PROMIS was moderately correlated with the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (r = 0.40, p < 0.05). PROMIS scores also correlated with grip (r = 0.60, p < 0.001) and pinch strength (r = 0.50, p < 0.001). Compared with the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand and Michigan Hand Outcomes questionnaires, PROMIS required the least time to complete with fewer children requiring assistance.
conclusionThe Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System is highly correlated with both functional assessment and self-reported function among children with congenital hand differences.
