International Urogynecology Consultation: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROs) use in the evaluation of patients with pelvic organ prolapse.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
introduction and hypothesisPatient-reported outcome measure instruments include patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient-reported goals (PRGs), which allow practitioners to measure symptoms and determine outcomes of treatment that matter to patients.
methodsThis is a structured review completed by the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUC), sponsored by the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA). The aim of this working group was to evaluate and synthesize the existing evidence for PROs and PRGs in the initial clinical work-up/evaluation and research arena for patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
resultsThe initial search generated 3589 non-duplicated studies. After abstract review by 4 authors, 211 full texts were assessed for eligibility by 2 writing group members, and 199 studies were reviewed in detail. Any disagreements on abstract or full-text articles were resolved by a third reviewer or during video meetings as a group. The list of POP PROs and information on PRGs was developed from these articles. Tables were generated to describe the validation of each PRO and to provide currently available, validated translations.
conclusionsAll patients presenting for POP should be evaluated for vaginal, bladder, bowel and sexual symptoms including their goals for symptom treatment. This screening can be facilitated by a validated PRO; however, most PROs provide more information than needed to provide clinical care and were designed for research purposes.
