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.

Abstract

Angina pectoris causes substantial psychological and functional disability and adversely effects health-related quality of life, particularly in women. Studies of cardiac disease-specific quality of life in women with coronary artery disease and angina are limited because little reliability and validity data for these instruments exist for women. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine reliability and validity of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), a cardiac disease-related quality-of-life measure, in a sample of women with chronic stable angina. A secondary analysis was performed on SAQ data from 175 women with a confirmed diagnosis of CAD and angina pectoris. The majority of the women were older, white, living with their spouse, had a previous acute myocardial infarction, and had undergone revascularization. The Cronbach alpha was used to assess reliability of the SAQ's five subscales, and factor analysis was used to assess the SAQ's validity. Results suggest that the SAQ is a reliable and valid quality-of-life measure in women with CAD. The physical limitations subscale factored into two separate factors, suggesting that the subscale measures two domains of physical function: self-care and exercise tolerance/mobility. Future research is needed to determine whether examining different combinations of SAQ items might provide a more sensitive assessment of cardiac disease-specific quality of life in women.
