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

backgroundDyspnea, or shortness of breath, is frequently reported among individuals with autonomic nervous system dysfunction, or dysautonomia. Currently, there are no validated dyspnea-specific patient-reported outcome measures for this population. METHODOLOGY: We conducted a patient-reported outcomes study to evaluate the internal consistency, reliability, and concurrent criterion-related validity of three PROMIS

resultsOf the 617 participants enrolled in this study, 414 individuals without comorbid conditions causing dyspnea were included in the primary analysis. The PROMIS

conclusionThese findings support the use of the PROMIS
