What is the Best Way to Assess Functional Health?: The History of the Development and Application of the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS).
Article in Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
For more than seven decades, the World Health Organization has defined health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Among researchers and clinicians, translation of this definition into outcomes measurements has proven challenging. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an initiative connected to the National Institutes of Health Roadmap for Medical Research. Recently, this tool was successfully applied in a comparative evaluation of intervention models (the Functional Medicine model versus the standard-of-care model for primary medicine) in patients with chronic health complaints. This study demonstrated that information derived from validated patient-reported outcomes surveys can be used to design clinical research approaches focused on improving health and well-being.
