Psychometric properties of scale constructed from the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for breast cancer based on Rasch analysis.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to construct a clinical instrument to measure functioning in breast cancer survivors using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) categories for body functions, activity and participation, and environmental factors, based on a Rasch analysis.
methodsItems were generated from the brief ICF core set for breast cancer and in-depth interviews from eight oncologists. Psychometric properties were evaluated in 158 female Korean patients with breast cancer using Rasch analysis, such as fit of the ICF categories, targeting between the ICF categories and a person's abilities, unidimensionality, and reliability.
resultsThe Rasch refinement led to a change from the original 43-item, 5-level scale to a 30-item, 3- or 4-level scale. Rasch reliabilities were 0.89 (body function scale), 0.96 (activity and participation scale), and 0.93 (environmental scale). The item-difficulty hierarchy was stable across age (<50 or ≥50 years) and had no non-fitting items or gaps (all information weighted fit (infit)/outlier sensitive fit (outfit) mean square error of 0.7-1.3, n = 140).
conclusionThe Brief Core Set Breast Cancer Questionnaire for Screening is a reliable and valid 30-item questionnaire based on the brief ICF core set. It allows measurement of functioning as a unidimensional construct in patients with breast cancer.
