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.

Abstract

introduction and hypothesisThe aim of this study was to translate the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) into Turkish and to test its reliability and validity among Turkish women with urinary incontinence (UI).

methodsThree hundred and thirty-five women with symptoms of UI completed the Turkish versions of the KHQ, short forms of the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), and the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI). Psychometric analysis of the KHQ included assessments of test-retest reliability, internal consistency, construct, and criterion validity. Factor analysis was used to explore the underlying structure of the KHQ.

resultsThe internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha ≥0.68) and test-retest reliability of the KHQ were found to be high (p < 0.001). Interdomain correlation analysis showed good convergent validity among Role, Physical, and Social Limitations, with relatively higher correlations and divergent validity between Personal Relationships and other domains, with relatively lower correlations. Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors, namely, Daily Life and Emotions, Personal Relationship, and General Health Perception. The KHQ was also significantly correlated with IIQ-7, UDI-6, and ISI (p < 0.01).

conclusionsThe results suggest that the Turkish KHQ is a valid and reliable condition-specific quality of life instrument for Turkish women with UI.
