PROMIS Versus Legacy Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Sports Medicine Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Knee, Shoulder, and Hip Interventions: A Systematic Review.

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
Background: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) was designed to monitor the global wellbeing of patients, with the Physical Function Computer-Adaptive Test (PF-CAT) component focused specifically on functional outcome. PROMIS aims for increased item-bank accuracy, lower administrative burden, and decreased floor and ceiling effects compared to legacy patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Our primary research outcomes focused on sports medicine surgical populations, which may skew younger or have wide-ranging functional statuses. Specifically, for this population, we questioned if PROMIS PF-CAT was equal to legacy PROMs in (1) construct validity and (2) convergent/divergent validities; and superior to legacy PROMs with respect to (3) survey burden and (4) floor and ceiling effects. Methods: Searches were performed in April 2019 in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, utilizing PubMed, Cochrane Central, and Embase databases for Level I-III evidence. This resulted in 541 records, yielding 12 studies for inclusion. PROM data was available for patients undergoing arthroscopic orthopaedic procedures of the knee, shoulder, and hip. Measures of construct validity, convergent/divergent validity, survey burden, and floor/ceiling effects were evaluated for PROMIS PF-CAT versus legacy PROMs. Results: PROMIS PF-CAT demonstrated excellent or excellent-good correlation with legacy PROMS for physical function and quality of life for patients undergoing arthroscopic interventions of the knee, shoulder, and hip. Compared to legacy PROM instruments, PROMIS PF-CAT demonstrated the lowest overall survey burden and had the lowest overall number of floor or ceiling effects across participants. Conclusion: PROMIS PF-CAT is an accurate, efficient evaluation tool for sports medicine surgical patients. PROMIS PF-CAT strongly correlates with legacy physical function PROMs while having a lower test burden and less incidence of floor and ceiling effects. PROMIS PF-CAT may be an optimal alternative for traditional physical function PROMs in sports medicine patients undergoing arthroscopic procedures. Further studies are required to extend the generalizability of these findings to patients during postoperative timepoints after shoulder and hip interventions
