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
purposeTo translate and cross-culturally adapt the Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) into the Korean language and to test the psychometric properties of the Korean COMI in patients with degenerative lumbar spine diseases.
methodsA cross-cultural adaptation of the COMI into Korean was carried out using established guidelines. A total of 117 patients with lumbar spinal diseases were recruited from the spinal center of a tertiary care teaching institution and completed a baseline questionnaire including the newly translated COMI, the visual analog scale for back pain and for leg pain, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the EuroQOL-5 dimensions (EQ-5D). Within 2 weeks after the first assessment, 83 (71%) completed a second COMI questionnaire and a transition question (no change, slight change, moderate change, a lot of change) by phone to assess reproducibility.
resultsCOMI summary scores displayed 1.7% floor effects and no ceiling effect. For construct validity, each COMI item and COMI summary score well correlated with its corresponding reference questionnaire. Therefore, the predefined hypotheses for the construct validities of each COMI item (ρ > 0.4 with the corresponding questionnaire) and the COMI summary score (ρ > 0.6 with both ODI and EQ-5D) were confirmed. Intraclass correlation coefficients of each COMI item and summary score ranged from 0.93 to 0.98. Therefore, the hypothesis for reliability (ICC > 0.8) was confirmed.
conclusionsThe present study highlights that the Korean version of the COMI is a reliable and valid outcome tool for use in Korean-speaking patients with degenerative lumbar spinal disease. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
