The COSMIN Clubs initiative: improving health measurement through collaborative learning.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2026. 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
In this manuscript we describe the development, structure, and contributions of the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) Clubs initiative in strengthening capacity in health measurement research. This descriptive study outlines the rationale, organization, and operation of the COSMIN Clubs, including their international structure, the format of their monthly meetings, and how they engage participants. Insights generated from discussions across multiple Clubs, in addition to an online member feedback survey, were synthesized to highlight key methodological themes and practical learnings. Established in 2023, the COSMIN Clubs currently operate across six regions, four time zones, and four languages, fostering inclusive and multidisciplinary participation. The Clubs provide a platform for discussing ongoing studies and methodological challenges related to measurement properties. Key topics include defining constructs and selecting appropriate study designs. Participants perceived methodological understanding, enhanced research quality, and expanded international collaborations. Discussions have also informed methodological advancements and contributed to ongoing developments in COSMIN guidance. The COSMIN Clubs are a practical extension of the COSMIN initiative that addresses gaps in capacity building, collaboration, and the application of methodological standards. The Clubs promote interactive, international, and multidisciplinary learning to improve the quality of health measurement research and the selection of appropriate outcome measurement instruments in clinical practice and research.
