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

introduction and hypothesisThe aim of this study was to translate and validate a Brazilian version of the "Prolapse Quality of Life Questionnaire" (P-QOL) an instrument to assess quality of life of women with genital prolapse.

methodsSixty-five patients answered the P-QOL twice. The reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and validity was assessed comparing symptom scores between affected and asymptomatic women and comparing symptom scores with prolapse stages. Responsiveness was obtained with patients who underwent to genital prolapse surgical corrections.

resultsThe results have showed that the Brazilian Portuguese version of P-QOL has had very good psychometric properties. All items achieved a Cronbach's alpha greater than 0.70. The test-retest reliability confirmed that the questionnaire was able to detect changes in quality-of-life after treatment.

conclusionsWe concluded that the Portuguese version of the P-QOL is a very good instrument to assess quality-of-life in women with genital Prolapse.
