Are PROMIS and Legacy Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Correlated for Patients Undergoing Carpal Tunnel Release?
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 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
Purpose: Long-established patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), such as the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and the Methods: Baseline PROMs were collected prospectively in 86 patients with electrodiagnostically confirmed CTS treated with CTR at a single tertiary referral center. The legacy PROMs used were the BCTQ and the Results: The mean age of the cohort was 59.7 years, and 56% were women. When assessing pain, the BCTQ - Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) was correlated moderately with PROMIS - PI (ρ = 0.59). When assessing function, the BCTQ - Functional Status Scale (FSS) was strongly inversely correlated with PROMIS - UE (ρ = -0.71) and moderately inversely correlated with PROMIS - PF (ρ = -0.58). The Conclusions: We demonstrated at least moderate correlation between legacy and PROMIS outcome measures of baseline pain and function in CTS patients. Clinical Relevance: Our findings support the use of either legacy or PROMIS outcome measures for this patient population.
