1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveImplementation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is limited in paediatric routine clinical care. The KidsPRO programme has been codesigned to facilitate the implementation of PROMs in paediatric healthcare settings. Therefore, this study (1) describes the development of innovative KidsPRO programme and (2) reports on the feasibility of implementing PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) PROM in asthma clinics using the KidsPRO programme.

designFeasibility assessment study.

settingOutpatient paediatric asthma clinics in the city of Calgary, Canada.

participantsFive paediatric patients, four family caregivers and three healthcare providers were recruited to pilot the implementation of PedsQL PROM using KidsPRO. Then, a survey was used to assess its feasibility among these study participants.

main outcome measuresParticipants' understanding of using PROMs, the adequacy of support provided to them, the utility of using PROMs as part of their appointment, and their satisfaction with using PROMs. ANALYSES: The quantitative data generated through closed-ended questions was analysed and represented in the form of bar charts for each category of study participants (ie, patients, their family caregivers and healthcare providers). The qualitative data generated through the open-ended questions were content analysed and categorised into themes.

resultsThe experience of using PROMs was overwhelmingly positive among patients and their family caregivers, results were mixed among healthcare providers. Qualitative data collected through open-ended questions also complemented the quantitative findings.

conclusionThe evidence from this study reveals that the implementation of PROMs in routine paediatric clinical care asthma clinics in Alberta is seems to be feasible.
