PROMs in paediatric knee ligament injury: use the Pedi-IKDC and avoid using adult PROMs.
Synthesis in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this systematic review was to present an evidence-based overview of psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for children with knee ligament injury.
methodsA systematic search of literature was performed in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases. The inclusion criteria were diagnostic studies evaluating psychometric properties (validity, reliability, responsiveness) and comprehensibility of PROMs as well as studies including children (age < 18 years) with knee ligament injury. The systematic review was performed following the PRISMA statement.
resultsTen studies were included. Eight studies evaluated psychometric properties of PROMs, and two studies analysed comprehensibility of PROMs. The Pedi-IKDC has been evaluated in four studies and has acceptable psychometric properties. The KOOS-Child is evaluated in one study and has acceptable psychometric properties. The use of adult PROMs in children causes problems in comprehensibility.
conclusionThe Pedi-IKDC is an adequate PROM for children with knee ligament injuries. It is valid, reliable and responsive. The KOOS-Child might be an alternative PROM for the Pedi-IKDC, but has only been evaluated in one study. The clinical relevance of the present systematic review is that adult versions of PROMs are not recommended in children and adolescents. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
