1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have great promise, but evidence of success is mixed. This study uses data from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Kaiser-Permanente Colorado to evaluate providing PROMs directly to the primary care physician. We compared changes over time in urinary incontinence, falls, and mental and physical health between clinics providing augmented PROMs (N = 202 patients) and control clinics (N = 102 patients). Both the control and treatment groups exhibited improvements, but there was no significant difference in outcomes over time. These results suggest that measuring and printing out PROMs for primary care physicians will not result in better patient outcomes without physician clinical engagement.
