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 Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Profile

methodsWe examined the validity of the LIBRE Profile by administering the six LIBRE Profile scales as well as legacy measures that assessed similar constructs. We calculated the Pearson correlations between the LIBRE Profile scales and the scores on the same-domain and cross-domain legacy measures to evaluate convergent and divergent validity. We then administered the LIBRE Profile scales a second time, seven to ten days after the first administration, to a sample of adult burn survivors to evaluate test-retest reliability. We calculated repeatability coefficients, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change to establish the threshold beyond which the amount of change observed across an episode of care cannot be explained as measurement error.

resultsFor reliability, the repeatability coefficients ranged from 7.31 to 9.27 and SEMs ranged from 2.62 to 3.39 for all six scales. MDC

conclusionsThis study provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the LIBRE Profile, one of the first tools that measures exclusively the social participation after a burn injury.
