Language concordance in the digital collection of patient-reported outcome measures.
Article in JAMIA open, 2026. 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
Objectives: To describe a health system's experience administering patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to patients with a non-English preferred language (NEPL). Materials and Methods: All PROMs within the Epic EHR were translated into 6 non-English languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Haitian Creole, and Chinese. Starting in quarter 2 of 2022 (Q2-2022), PROMs were administered in patients' preferred languages via the patient portal or tablets in clinic. We tracked language concordance, defined as the proportion of PROMs completed in patients' preferred languages, after implementation. Results: From Q1-2022 to Q3-2024, 2 657 469 completed PROMs were included for analysis. Patients with English as their preferred language completed PROMs in English 99.9% of the time. Patients with an NEPL increasingly completed PROMs in their preferred language to a maximum of 47.2% of the time, with differences observed by mode: 33.9% and 58.1% of PROMs completed in the patient portal and in clinic, respectively, were language concordant. Conclusion: Although multilingual, electronic health record (EHR)-integrated digital tools can improve language concordance for PROMs, complex EHR structures and processes limit uptake and hinder equitable access to high-quality patient-centered care.
