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

purposeIn 2021 a set of consensus-based and empirically informed reporting recommendations were developed for primary studies of the measurement properties of patient‑reported outcome measures (PROMs). With their use, we determined that certain reporting items were redundant, some required revisions, and additional items were needed. The aim of this study was to update the COSMIN reporting guideline and develop version 2.0 for studies on measurement properties of PROMs.

methodsThere were seven phases to this update: 1. Identification of relevant experts for the meeting; 2. Solicitation of written feedback on the existing reporting recommendations checklist; 3. Development of the Explanation & Elaboration document; 4. A face-to-face consensus meeting; 5. Post-meeting revisions of the checklist and Explanation & Elaboration document; 6. Circulation of the resultant manuscripts to experts for solicitation of final feedback, and 7. Completion of the final documents and resultant manuscripts, distribution to all members for approval, and finalization.

resultsOverall, the revised recommendations for version 2.0 consists of 31 general items and 37 specific items. Of the general items, 15 were revised or reordered and one item was added. Of the specific items, 15 were revised or reordered and two new items were added.

conclusionWe recommend that the earlier version of this guidance (version 1.0) no longer be used. These revised reporting recommendations (version 2.0) will help to guide those reporting or reading these investigations on the essential information that is recommended to be included.
