Preliminary evidence for the construct and concurrent validity of the DS14 in Hebrew.

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
backgroundType D personality is a risk indicator in cardiac patients. While both the validity and reliability of the Type D scale (DS14) have been confirmed in Western Europe, less attention has been paid to the subject in other nations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Hebrew version of the DS14 among a sample of cardiac patients in Israel.
methodMale patients (N = 94) hospitalized for a first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) completed the DS14 1 month after their ACS. The Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI) scales for depression and anxiety and the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory-Dutch for measuring covert and overt aggressions were administered during the initial hospitalization (baseline). The BSI was administered again at the 6-month follow-up. At follow-up, patients were also asked about their participation in a formal cardiac rehabilitation program.
resultsThe two-factor structure of the DS14 was confirmed and the DS14 subscales were internally consistent (Cronbach's α = 0.79/0.80). Type D cardiac patients had a significantly higher mean score on anxiety, depression, and covert aggression at baseline compared to non-Type D patients. At the 6-month follow-up, Type D was associated with more anxiety, more depression, and less attendance at a formal cardiac rehabilitation program. The prevalence of Type D in the current sample (5.3%) was found to be significantly lower than elsewhere in Europe.
conclusionPreliminary evidence suggests that it is possible to use the Hebrew version of the DS14 among Hebrew-speaking cardiac patients in future studies. However, the prevalence of the Type D personality in Israel should be further assessed.
