Specific Measures of Quality of Life in Patients with Multimorbidity in Primary Healthcare: A Systematic Review on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures' Adequacy of Measurement.
Review in Patient related outcome measures, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to search systematically for Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used among patients with multimorbidity. Furthermore, the aim is to evaluate the adequacy and validity of the PROMs identified. DESIGN AND
settingThis systematic review follows the PRISMA guidelines. To assess the adequacy and validity of the identified PROMs the COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist is used, more specifically a validation of the development, content validity, structural validity, and internal consistency of the PROMs.
resultsFour PROMs were identified in the primary search, and one was found from references. The sixth PROM was published after the primary search. None of the identified PROMs were aimed specifically at measuring the quality of life in patients with multimorbidity. According to the checklist, the development process and content validity were rated "adequate" in only one measure and "invalid"/"doubtful"/"inadequate" in the rest of the measures. The structural validity of the measures was rated "adequate" in four measures and "very good" in one. Regarding the internal consistency, two measures were rated doubtful and three "very good". None of the six PROMs reported analyses about invariant measurement. The COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist proved easy to use; however, there are some concerns in the rating of bias, that are discussed further.
conclusionAll six PROMs developed for patients with multimorbidity identified possessed inadequacy in their measurement properties. Therefore, the aim for the future is to develop a valid and adequate measure of the quality of life among patients with multimorbidity.
