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

backgroundThis study aimed to systematically identify, synthesize, and evaluate measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of eHL in adult populations.

methodA systematic review was conducted, considering studies reporting the development or validation of eHL instruments for adult populations. Four databases and grey literature were searched from January 2000 to 2024, with additional website searches up to 2022. Quality assessment, data analysis and synthesis followed the COSMIN methodology and findings were reported according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The GRADE framework was used to assess evidence quality.

resultsA total of 8558 citations were identified. Seven instruments, 89 articles and 3 reports were included in this review. The HL

conclusionThis review identified 17 eHL instruments, of which seven demonstrated adequate content validity. However, insufficient evidence exists regarding psychometric properties for widespread implementation. It is strongly recommended that the content of these instruments be updated to reflect patients' evolving use of eHealth services, and that further psychometrics evaluations be conducted systematically. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42021232765.
