Validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey in Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the “Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS)” in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) survivors.
methodsThe MOS-SSS is a 19-item questionnaire with five scales covering different aspects of social support (affection, positive social interaction, emotional, informational, and material). A sample of 200 HL survivors completed a self-administered questionnaire at the treatment center or at home.
resultsThe median age of the patients at diagnosis was 29 years (16–77), and the median follow-up since diagnosis was 7 years (3.6-12.7). Item-corrected Pearson correlation coefficients between items and their dimensions varied from 0.57 to 0.76. Internal consistency, evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, was 0.95 for the overall scale, ranging from 0.78 to 0.87 for the five subscales proposed by the original instrument. An exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-factor solution, aggregating affection and positive social interaction, and emotional and informational dimensions of social support. Higher socioeconomic status and higher social network were associated with higher levels of all kinds of support.
conclusionResults show good general psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the MOS-SSS when applied to HL survivors. The three-factor structure identified in this study is in line with a previous validation among Brazilian healthy civil servants. The Brazilian Portuguese version will now be used to evaluate social support and its association with long-term disease outcomes and quality of life of Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors.
