Speech-Language Pathologists' Use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Adult Patients With Cognitive-Communication Disorders: A Survey Study.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeSpeech-language pathologists (SLPs) primarily assess patients with cognitive-communication disorders using performance-based measures. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) may also prove useful in clinical practice with these populations, as they can capture applied communication constructs with subjective or unobservable elements (e.g., cognitive fatigue). We conducted a survey to gain insight into SLPs' clinical use of PROMs with these populations.
methodNinety-five SLPs responded to 26 survey items that explored SLPs' (a) current use of PROMs in clinical care for adults with cognitive-communication disorders, (b) needs and barriers related to PROM use in clinical practice, and (c) gaps and needs with respect to the measurement of patient health-related quality of life. A convergent mixed-methods design was used to analyze qualitative and quantitative survey responses. Free-response questions were coded using a conventional content analysis.
resultsForty percent of respondents reported using PROMs with their patients with cognitive-communication disorders, most often for goal setting, followed by assessing treatment effects. SLPs also reported barriers to PROM use with patients with cognitive-communication disorders, such as patient insight deficits and limited time. The identified barriers of
conclusionsThe survey findings suggest that many SLPs do not currently use PROMs with patients who have cognitive-communication disorders, but those who do find them useful for goal setting. Survey findings also indicate several barriers that limit broader adoption of PROMs for this clinical population, which should be addressed through future implementation research and clinical initiatives such as creating PROM education for SLPs.
