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

The point of departure for this study was the need for an instrument capturing social activities updated to the living circumstances of the 21st century. Starting out from the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), the objective was to investigate the inter-rater agreement of the scoring of a modified and extended Swedish version, capturing activity performance and participation. Thirty-one older people, living in the community post stroke, were interviewed in their homes by two raters using the Swedish FAI version, extended with items on use of mode of transport and use of telephone, and modified with additional scales. Besides the original frequency scale, the new scales captured changes in frequency, reasons for change, and performance satisfaction; inter-rater agreement was analyzed with kappa statistics. Overall, the inter-rater agreement was high or very high, with weighted [Formula: see text] = 0.924 for the frequency scale and [Formula: see text]= 0.784-0.940 for the new scales. As a conclusion, while further validity and reliability testing is necessary, when out-of-home activities are of interest the scoring of the modified and extended Swedish FAI version can be administered with high inter-rater agreement.
