Explanation & Elaboration document of the COSMIN Reporting Guideline 2.0 for studies on measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
purposeWe aimed to develop an Explanation & Elaboration document to provide explanations, rationales, and good examples of reporting for each item in the COSMIN Reporting Guideline 2.0.
methodsThe development of the Explanation & Elaboration document was conducted in four phases. In phase 1, experts on measurement properties were invited as writers to draft explanations and examples for each item. The original COSMIN Reporting Guideline items into 22 clusters, each containing two to six items, which were self-assigned by writers based on expertise. In phase 2, a draft of the Explanation & Elaboration document was created. For each item, an 'Explanation', 'Essential elements', and 'Item examples' were written. The draft was reviewed by a team of reviewers for grammar, conciseness, and consistency with other COSMIN tools. In phase 3, the Explanation & Elaboration document was extensively revised considering the newly created COSMIN reporting guidelines 2.0. In phase 4, the final version incorporated feedback from all writers and final approval.
resultsEighteen writers drafted the item explanations and provided examples of good reporting. The Explanation & Elaboration document contains explanations of the General and Specific items. We explain the reasons why reporting of the item is recommended and how to report the items with examples of good reporting.
conclusionThe Explanation & Elaboration document of the COSMIN Reporting Guideline 2.0 facilitates comprehensive reporting of studies on measurement properties of PROMs and should be used in conjunction with the COSMIN Reporting Guideline 2.0.
