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

objectiveTo validate the "Questionnaire on breastfeeding knowledge and skills" in Nurses (EcoLa).

designA validation study, with prior linguistic adaptation, according to the skills and training of the nurses. LOCATION: Cantabria.

participantsGeneral nurses, paediatrics specialists, and midwives from the Cantabrian Health Service, with responsibility for mother-child care. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The psychometric properties of the nursing version of ECoLa were evaluated. Internal consistency was measured using α-Cronbach for multiple choice and overall answer questions, and Kuder-Richardson's formula (KR20) for dichotomous response questions. Inter-observer concordance was measured using the kappa coefficient in items 18 and 21, and the test-retest reliability with 11 subjects using the intraclass correlation coefficient.

resultsThe mean score in the questionnaire was 21.15±4.67 points. There were no statistically significant differences as regards the gender or number of children. There was an association between the score obtained in the questionnaire and previous experience in lactation, and with the professional profile (midwife 24.23 points, paediatric nurse 21.20 points, and general nurse 20 points; P<.01). The internal consistency showed a KR20 of 0.802, and the α-Cronbach for multiple-choice questions was 0.719, and 0.866 for overall. Interobserver concordance for Item 18 had a kappa=0.6, for item 30 kappa=0.825), and for total score the kappa=0.856). The test-retest reliability overall score (CCI=0.856, 95% CI 0.55-0.96), and for question 30 (CCI=0.93, 95% CI 0.75-0.98).

conclusionsThe questionnaire scale has psychometric properties that make its use valid and reliable in the evaluation of the training of nursing professionals.
