Translating scores into meaning: a co-produced forum for patient-reported outcome measure interpretation in pediatric congenital heart disease.
Article in Research involvement and engagement, 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
backgroundPatient and public involvement (PPI) and co-production are intended to increase the relevance and uptake of health research, yet structured ways of jointly interpreting patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) data in real time remain limited. We developed and tested a PROM-anchored participatory forum within a longitudinal pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) study.
methodsThe forum was co-developed and co-delivered by a patient organization and a university hospital as an explicit integrated knowledge translation (iKT) episode. Interim Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Cardiac Module (PedsQL CM) results were presented in a plain-language life-course graphic and discussed in two rounds entailing small-group reflection and prioritization. Data sources included facilitator notes, plenary clusters, poll outputs, post-forum evaluation responses, and baseline PROM patterns. We took a framework-guided thematic approach and adapted joint displays to integrate qualitative and quantitative data.
resultsTwenty families participated. The format enabled participants to contextualize aggregated PROM findings in relation to everyday life, and to identify where quantitative patterns resonated with lived experience and where additional nuance was needed. The forum produced co-produced interpretation memos, a prioritized action list, an implementation and adaptation package pack, and the family-facing dissemination figure called the "Quality-of-Life Tree". Participants highlighted transition-sensitive concerns, emotional burden, care coordination, and the need for child-friendly explanations and identifiable points of contact. The process was perceived as comprehensible and useful.
conclusionsA PROM-anchored participatory forum can make interim outcome data usable before the end of data collection and translate them into shared interpretation, action planning, and family-friendly dissemination. The approach offers a transferable model for linking PROM measurement, participatory interpretation, and follow-up in pediatric care research.
