Comparative analysis of pediatric depression measures in clinical sample: evaluation of the PROMIS pediatric depression short form.
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. 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
objectiveExamine the psychometric properties of the PROMIS Depression Short From 2.0 (PROMIS-D-SF), Caregiver and Youth Report in comparison with a legacy measure of depression, the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire, using a clinical sample.
methodsParticipants were 233 youth and caregivers referred to a behavioral health clinic by their pediatrician. Participants and their caregivers completed PROMIS-D-SF (youth and caregiver proxy), Short Mood and Feelings (SMFQ) (youth and caregiver proxy), and Semi-structured Interview. Descriptive, correlational, psychometric, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and exploratory factor analysis were conducted for both measures.
resultsPROMISD-SF youth and caregiver correlations with the youth and caregiver SMFQ were 0.73 and 0.68 and had Area Under the Curve (AUCs) values ranging from 0.7 to 0.77 for the detection of a depression diagnosis. The PROMIS-D-SF youth measure had favorable test re-test reliability and the factor structure of the PROMIS measure correlated with each factor of the legacy SMFQ measure. IMPLICATIONS: The PROMIS-D-SF demonstrated strong psychometric properties, correlated significantly with the SMFQ, and showed acceptable diagnostic accuracy for depression. This measure appears to be favorable for use in evidence-based assessment, including depression screening and progress monitoring.
