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

purposeThe purpose of study was to translate Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) into Turkish for children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and evaluate its reliability and validity. This is the first CF-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measure validated in a Muslim country.

methodsFifty-one children aged 6-13 years treated at four centers in Turkey and 30 parents participated in this cross-sectional study. Demographic characteristics and disease severity parameters were recorded for all participants. All participants completed the parent or child versions of CFQ-R and KINDL questionnaires at enrollment. Reliability and construct validity analysis were carried out.

resultsBoth children and parents endorsed a range of responses, with no evidence of floor or ceiling effects. Item-to-total correlations indicated that most items were more highly correlated with their intended scale than competing scales. Good internal consistency was found for majority of child and parent scales. CFQ-R scales correlated significantly with clinical indices of disease severity. Good evidence of convergent validity with a generic HRQOL scale was found.

conclusionTurkish versions of CFQ-R Child and Parent instruments have demonstrated adequate reliability and validity and can be utilized in clinical trials or integrated into clinical evaluation and follow-up of Turkish children with CF.
