Measurement properties of Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System domains for children with type 1 diabetes.
Article in Pediatric diabetes, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePatient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) includes numerous domains to assess functioning among the pediatric population. These domains, however, have not been evaluated for use in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The objective of this study was to determine the measurement properties of PROMIS domains (pain behavior, pain quality, physical stress experience, physical activity, strength impact, and profile-25) in children with T1D.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study of children with T1Drecruited from tertiary care facilities. To determine construct validity, we compared PROMIS T-scores between known-groups based on (a) glycemic control, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c%) and (b) self-reported general health, using t test or analysis of variance. Reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha and item response theory reliability. We also determined agreement between parent-proxy and child self-report PROMIS scores.
resultsOur study included 192 children, mean age 12.7 (SD = 2.9) years, eligible to self-report PROMIS surveys. There were significant differences in physical stress experience and pain intensity between children with HbA1c < 10% and those with HbA1c ≥ 10%. There also were significant differences in T-scores for all domains except physical function mobility and strength impact among children with poor/fair, good, very good/excellent general health. All valid domains had reliability >0.70. More than 40% of child-parent pairs were in agreement, with intraclass correlations coefficients (ICC) ranging between 0.41 and 0.63 for all domains, except pain behavior (%agreement = 23%; ICC = 0.29).
conclusionsMost of the PROMIS domains tested are valid, reliable, and able to differentiate children with T1D who report different general health states. There is moderate agreement between child-parent pairs for all domains except pain behavior.
