Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures in Spine Surgery.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purpose of reviewPatient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) represent a valuable means of assessing the impact of spine surgery on various aspects of patient function and quality of life. This review highlights the most common and contemporary PROMs used in degenerative cervical and lumbar spine conditions, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and adult spinal deformity. RECENT
findingsAvailable PROMs differ in their comprehensiveness, flexibility, and ease of use, as well as their ability to provide prognostic information. Condition-specific PROMs such as the Scoliosis Research Society-22 and Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association offer the benefit of prompts tailored to capture the unique considerations for a particular disease state, while more generalized metrics such as the Short-Form 36 facilitate widespread PROM standardization permitting comparison between disease states and interventions. Newer PROMS such as the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System and the Patient Generated Index offer benefits due to their generalizable yet adaptable format, conferring them the potential to capture condition-specific factors while still permitting comparison between diseases. However, these instruments require further adaptations and validation prior to widespread implementation to fully realize these advantages. Many PROMs are available for use in the spine surgery population, each with unique benefits and drawbacks, necessitating careful evaluation when selecting PROMs for research use.
