Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for assessing functioning, disability, and health of people with spinal cord injury - a scoping review.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to identify the most frequently used Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to explore how they assess function, disability, and health in the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Additionally, the psychometric properties of the identified PROMs were investigated.
designScoping review.
methodsMEDLINE (Ovid) and CINAHL (EBSCO) electronic databases were searched for PROMs that assess functioning, disability, and health in people with SCI. Eligible PROMs were linked to the ICF and further screened based on how thoroughly they covered the ICF categories of the Brief ICF Core Sets for people with SCI. Finally, a search was performed to investigate the psychometric properties of selected PROMs.
resultsOf the most frequently applied PROMs, 21 were linked to the ICF. Items of the Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors (CHIEF), the Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory Short Form (NEFI-SF), the Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS), and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure - Self Report (SCIM-SR) covered the constructs of the Brief ICF Core Sets most comprehensively, and their psychometric properties were assessed. The psychometric properties of the SCIM-SR had been examined the most thoroughly, and its validity and reliability were acceptable.
conclusionsSufficient psychometric properties encourage using the SCIM-SR to assess functioning in daily activities of people with SCI whereas CHIEF, NEFI-SF, and SCI-SCS measure meaningful constructs but need more psychometric research.
