The Spinal Cord Injury Pressure Ulcer Scale (SCIPUS): an assessment of validity using Rasch analysis.
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 3 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
designSecondary analysis of retrospective data.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to further validate the Spinal Cord Injury Pressure Ulcer Scale (SCIPUS) using Rasch analysis.
settingTwo rehabilitation centers in Canada.
methodData were collected as part of the Spinal Cord Injury Knowledge Mobilization Network (SCI KMN) initiative. The SCIPUS was completed within 72 h of inpatient admission. Persons admitted for initial rehabilitation in two inpatient spinal cord rehabilitation programs were included in the project.
resultsData from 886 participants were analyzed, approximately 60% of whom were males. Rasch analyses demonstrated that the SCIPUS, in its current format did not meet criteria required for true measurement. A transformed version of the SCIPUS obtained by deletion of misfitting items and modification of the response scales improved fit to the model and showed preliminary evidence of unidimensionality. The person separation index, however indicated that the scale requires further adjustments of its scoring options.
conclusionsIn its original form, the SCIPUS does not meet the requirements of the Rasch model and its total score should be used cautiously. However, following some adjustments to the items such as addressing DIF between sites to insure a standardized assessment across sites and adding response options to some of the items, interval-scale measurement should be possible.
