Digital Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Assessing Health-Related Quality of Life in Skull Base Diseases-Analysis of Feasibility and Pitfalls Two Years after Implementation.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is becoming increasingly important in neurosurgery following the trend toward patient-centered care, especially in the context of skull base diseases. The current study evaluates the systematic assessment of HRQoL using digital patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in a tertiary care center specialized in skull base diseases. The methodology and feasibility to conduct digital PROMs using both generic and disease-specific questionnaires were investigated. Infrastructural and patient-specific factors affecting participation and response rates were analyzed. Since August 2020, 158 digital PROMs were implemented in skull base patients presenting for specialized outpatient consultations. Reduced personnel capacity led to significantly fewer PROMs being conducted during the second versus (vs.) the first year after introduction (mean: 0.77 vs. 2.47 per consultation day,
