Implementability of collecting patient-reported outcome data in stroke unit care - a qualitative study.
Article in BMC health services research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03795948 (Outcome Evaluation by Patient Reported Outcome Measures), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundPatient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess patient-relevant effects of medical treatments. We aimed to evaluate the implementation of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement Standard Set for Stroke (ICHOM-SSS) into routine inpatient care of a stroke unit.
methodsThe ICHOM-SSS was administered in a certified stroke unit during and after inpatient care. Semi-structured interviews with medical staff (n = 5) and patients or their proxies (n = 19) about their experience were audio-recorded and analysed using thematic analyses. Implementation outcomes were chosen in advance and adhered to current standards of implementation science.
resultsPatients perceived the ICHOM-SSS to be relevant and feasible. They reported limited understanding of why the assessment was introduced. The overall acceptance of using PROMs was high. While medical staff, too, perceived the assessment to be appropriate and relevant, their appraisal of feasibility, sustainability, and their acceptance of the implementation were low.
conclusionsFor a sustainable implementation of PROMs in clinical practice, IT resources need to be adapted, medical care needs to be reorganized, and additional clinical resources are required. Future research should investigate benefits of the ICHOM-SSS and a simpler, automated implementation in stroke care.
