Validation of the short version of the Van Lieshout Test in an Italian population with cervical spinal cord injuries: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Spinal cord, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
STUDY
designPsychometric study.
objectiveTo validate the Italian version of the Van Lieshout Test Short Version (VLT-SV) with a spinal cord injury population.
settingThree Italian spinal units.
methodsThe Italian version of the VLT-SV (VLT-SV-IT) was administered to a sample of people with cervical spinal cord injuries (C-SCI) and the test-retest was performed. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and the intraclass correlation coefficient for repeatability assessment (test-retest). Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated for concurrent validity with the Italian version of the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) and for construct validity with the Italian version of the Spinal Cord Injury Independence Measure (SCIM III).
resultsThe VLT-SV-IT was administered to 61 individuals and all psychometric properties were significant: Cronbach's alpha was 0.95 (left hand and right hand) and the intraclass correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.90 for the right hand, the left hand, and the total score. Pearson's correlation coefficient of the VLT-SV-IT with the JTHFT was significant, while the correlation with SCIM III was not. The obtained values are considered acceptable and consistent with international guidelines.
conclusionsThe VLT-SV-IT was shown to be a reliable and valid assessment tool for measuring hand function in the Italian population with C-SCI. This result suggests that it could be used as a starting point for hand therapy and to assist in clinical decision-making regarding treatment policy.
