Item banking and computer-adaptive testing in clinical trials: Standing in sight of the PROMISed land.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06396702 (Emotion And Symptom-focused Engagement), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The use of patient-reported outcome instruments (PRO) in clinical trials in order to capture the impacts of treatment on patients is widespread. However, regulatory agencies have over the past decade highlighted the need for PROs that are fit for purpose and target relevant aspects of the patient's condition. Many legacy PROs were developed with little patient input, are lengthy, and may lack relevance having not been modified or adapted as medical treatments have advanced. Computer-adaptive test (CAT) systems provide the possibility of targeted approaches to capturing patient-centric data, while minimising patient burden. Coupled with greater patient input in the development of PROs, CAT offers the opportunity of overcoming the shortcomings of the previous generation of PROs. This paper describes the some of the issues facing legacy PROs, current regulatory guidance, and initiatives, such as the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS), as well as the early signs of use of CAT to capture PRO data in clinical trials.
