Assessing fatigue in children and adolescents: Psychometric validation of the German version of the PROMIS
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeFatigue is a common symptom in children and adolescents. Its negative impact on health outcomes is even more pronounced in those with chronic pain. There is currently no fatigue measurement tool in German that is validated for both children and adolescents with and without chronic pain. Therefore, this study aimed to gather quantitative validity evidence to support the use of the German version of the PROMIS
methodsThe 10-item self-assessment questionnaire was validated in a sample of N = 1348 school children (9-18 years; 52.4% female) and N = 114 pediatric chronic pain patients (8-17 years; 63.3% female). Construct and convergent validity, reliability, and item and scale characteristics were examined.
resultsConfirmatory factor analyses showed sufficient model fit for the 1-factor model of the questionnaire (school sample: CFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.10, SRMR = 0.04; patient sample: CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.14, SRMR = 0.05). Convergent validity was supported by weak-to-large significant correlations with sleep quality, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and pain characteristics. The questionnaire had excellent internal consistency in both samples (α = 0.92 and α = 0.93). Sex differences and age distributions of the PROMIS
