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

objectivesThere is no validated questionnaire in Turkish to assess asthma knowledge. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Asthma Self-Management Knowledge Questionnaire (AKQ) among asthmatic adults. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe AKQ was translated into Turkish by two medical-text translators, followed by back translation and final review by two clinicians with experience in asthma management. The Turkish Asthma Self-Management Questionnaire was then applied to 202 adult asthma patients, and additional demographic and clinical features of the patients were collected for analysis.

resultsThe internal reliability of the 24-item AKQ was not high (Cronbach's alpha=0.55). Tukey's test of additivity was significant (p<0.001). This result revealed that all questions are consistent and measure the same concepts. Factor analysis demonstrated a probable structure of 10 factors that together explained 63.7% of total variance in results. Intra-class reliability of the AKQ was quite high.

conclusionThis study shows that AKQ seems to be a suitable instrument to evaluate the effect of different components of asthma knowledge - such as triggers, medications, asthma exacerbations, and avoidance measures - in adult asthmatics.
