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

Current patient-reported outcome measures for itch are limited and may not capture its full impact on health-related quality of life. We sought to develop, calibrate, and validate banks of questions assessing the health-related quality of life impact of itch as part of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. A systematic process of literature review, content-expert review, qualitative research, testing in a sample of 600 adults, classical test theory methods, and item response theory analyses were applied. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were followed by item response theory model and item fit analyses. Four itch-related item banks were developed: (i) general concerns, (ii) mood and sleep, (iii) clothing and physical activity, and (iv) scratching behavior. Item response theory and expert content review narrowed the item banks to 25, 18, 15, and 5 items, respectively. Validity of the item banks was supported by good convergent and discriminant validity with itch intensity, internal consistency, and no significant floor or ceiling effects. In conclusion, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Itch Questionnaire banks have excellent measurement properties and efficiently and comprehensively assess the burden of itch.
