[A systematic review of childhood cancer-related fatigue assessment tools based on the COSMIN guidelines].
Synthesis in Zhongguo dang dai er ke za zhi = Chinese journal of contemporary pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo systematically review the methodological quality and measurement properties of childhood cancer-related fatigue assessment tools based on the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments (COSMIN) guidelines, providing a basis for clinical practitioners to select appropriate assessment tools.
methodsThe databases searched included China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Biomedical Literature, Weipu, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science for studies published up to January 2024. Children under 12 years old and their primary caregivers were enrolled as subjects. Articles were screened based on inclusion criteria, and the key information regarding the assessment tools was extracted. The risk of bias checklist from the COSMIN guidelines and the quality standard rating scale were employed to evaluate measurement properties and formulate final recommendations.
resultsA total of 18 articles were included, covering 7 fatigue measurement tools, consisting of 4 specific tools and 3 generic tools tools. Methodological differences were observed in measurement properties across these scales. The Chinese Version of the Pediatric Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (C-Ped-PROMIS) was rated as grade A recommendation due to its adequate content validity and internal consistency, while the remaining six scales were rated as grade B recommendation since their content validity was assessed as "insufficient" based on moderate-level evidence or higher.
conclusionsThe C-Ped-PROMIS scale demonstrates good reliability, validity, and cross-cultural validity as the preferred tool for measuring childhood cancer-related fatigue. The scale can serve as an auxiliary tool, and future research should focus on the applicability of various tools to enhance the effectiveness of interventions for assessing childhood cancer-related fatigue.
