Reproducibility of the international spinal cord injury quality of life basic data set: an international psychometric 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 15 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.
objectivesTo examine the reproducibility of the international spinal cord injury quality of life basic data set (QoL-BDS) in an international sample of community-dwelling adults with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/SCD) and in subgroups with respect to age (< 50 vs. ≥ 50 years) and etiology.
settingOutpatient rehabilitation clinics and community.
methodsParticipants were people living with SCI/D in four countries, at least 1 year post onset and at least 18 years of age. The QoL-BDS consists of three items on satisfaction with life as a whole, physical health and psychological health rated on a 0-10 numerical rating scale. A fourth item on satisfaction with social life was included based on feedback from participants.
resultsA total of 79 people were included. Median age was 52 years. Most participants (69.6%) had SCI, paraplegia (53%), and 40.5% reported a motor complete injury. Median time between tests was 14 days (range 4-27). Intra-class correlation (ICC) values of the items ranged from 0.66 to 0.80. ICC values of the three-item and four-item total scores were identical and good (0.83; 95% CI 0.75-0.89). Subgroup analyses showed ICC values ranging from 0.76 to 0.83. Bland-Altman plots suggested no bias for the three-item total score, but some bias for the four-item total score. The limits of agreement of both scores were similar, wide at individual level and small at group level.
conclusionsThis study provides evidence of reproducibility of the current version of the QoL-BDS. When adding a fourth item, reproducibility was maintained.
