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

backgroundPerceptions of aging refer to individuals' understanding of aging within their sociocultural context. Proper measurement of this concept in various societies requires accurate tools.

objectiveThe present study was conducted with the aim to translate and validate the Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (B-APQ) and assess its psychometric features in Iranian older adults.

methodIn this study, the Persian version of B-APQ was validated for 400 older adults. This questionnaire was translated into Persian according to the Wild et al's model. The Persian version was validated using content, face, and construct (using confirmatory factor analysis) validities, and then its internal consistency and test-retest reliability were measured. Data were analyzed using the statistical software programs SPSS 18 and EQS-6.1.

resultsThe confirmatory factor analysis confirmed construct validity and five subscales of B-APQ. Test-retest reliability with 3-week interval produced r=0.94. Cronbach's alpha was found to be 0.75 for the whole questionnaire, and from 0.53 to 0.77 for the five factors.

conclusionThe Persian version of B-APQ showed favorable validity and reliability, and thus it can be used for measuring different dimensions of perceptions of aging in Iranian older adults.
