Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of an adapted Wolf motor function test for older patients with shoulder injuries.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe Wolf motor function test (WMFT) evaluates the upper extremity performance of patients with neurological disorders and traumatic brain injuries by assessing time and functional capacity. It was later modified to also measure the quality of the performed movements. This study aimed to adapt the WMFT for patients with shoulder injuries and to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of this adapted version. SUBJECTS AND
methodsA total of 20 individuals with a median age of 80.5 years were assessed using a test-retest design after surgical or conservative treatment of shoulder injuries. Two raters rated performance to determine inter-rater reliability. One rater rated the performance again to determine intra-rater reliability. Both inter-rater and intra-rater agreement were determined by weighted Cohen's kappa statistics with corresponding confidence intervals. Cronbach's alpha was calculated to determine internal consistency.
resultsThe inter-rater Cohen's kappa values ranged from 0.84-1.00 for functional capacity and from 0.79-1.00 for quality of movement. For intra-rater reliability the Cohen's kappa ranged from 0.71-1.00. Cronbach's alpha was >0.94 for functional capacity and >0.96 for quality of movement.
conclusionThe adapted version of the WMFT shows high intra-rater and inter-rater reliability for patients with shoulder injuries.
