1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are increasingly recognized in liver transplant (LT)-patients, yet recent evaluations of their quality are lacking. This systematic review gives a comprehensive overview of available PROMs in adults awaiting or undergoing LT and their measurement properties. Method: A systematic search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and COCHRANE (01/2010-08/2023) included studies involving adult LT-candidates and/or recipients utilizing PROMs with original evaluations of measurement properties. The COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) was used to ascertain the quality of measurement properties. Results: In total, 23 studies encompassing 35 PROMs were identified, including nine disease-specific and 26 generic PROMs. The Conclusion: Measurement properties in LT-patients remains of low-quality.
