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

backgroundThe Pain, Functional Impairment, and Quality of Life study was an observational, cross-sectional assessment of the impact of pain on functional impairment and quality of life in adult people with hemophilia (PWH) of any severity in the USA who experience joint pain and/or bleeding.

objectiveTo assess internal consistency (IC) and item-total correlation (ITC) of assessment tools used in the Pain, Functional Impairment, and Quality of Life study.

methodsParticipants completed 5 patient-reported outcome instruments (EQ-5D-5L with visual analog scale, Brief Pain Inventory v2 Short Form [BPI], International Physical Activity Questionnaire [IPAQ], Short Form 36 Health Survey v2 [SF-36v2], and Hemophilia Activities List [HAL]) and underwent an optional physiotherapist-administered musculoskeletal exam (Hemophilia Joint Health Score v2.1) during routine visits. Reliability assessment included IC and ITC of each instrument.

resultsA total of 381 adult PWH (median age, 34 years) were enrolled. Participants were predominantly white/non-Hispanic (69.2%); 75% had congenital hemophilia A, and 70.5% had severe hemophilia. A total of 310 subjects reported bleeding within the past 6 months (mean [SD] number of bleeds, 7.1 [13.00]). IC was generally high across the instruments employed (Cronbach's alpha 0.79-0.98) with the exception of HAL use of transportation (0.58) and IPAQ total physical activity (0.51). ITC was high (Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient >0.20) for all items except the "vigorous intensity activities" item of IPAQ, which was applicable to less than one-third of participants. The ITCs were generally highest in domains/scores that measured the functional consequences of hemophilic arthropathy on mobility and pain.

conclusionThe demonstrated reliability (IC/ITC) of the patient-reported outcome instruments and Hemophilia Joint Health Score v2.1 support a role for these instruments in evaluating adult PWH in US clinical and research settings.
