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

backgroundThere are a number of tools to assess self-care in hypertension (HTN), but they do not cover all the dimensions of self-care and do not have a good reliability and validity. This study was conducted to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a tool for self-care assessment in HTN.

methodsThis cross-sectional, methodological study was conducted in Isfahan, Iran. An expert panel was held to assess the qualitative face validity of the tool. The content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were measured. The questionnaire was distributed among 20 patients to measure its internal reliability. After 14 days, it was re-distributed among the same patients, as a measure of external reliability. The questionnaire was completed by 203 patients with HTN and an exploratory factor analysis was performed in order to assess the construct validity of the tool.

resultsThe items of the self-care tool were confirmed with a CVR ≥ 0.5, Kappa ≥ 0.71, I-CVI = 0.69, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.952. The factor analysis showed that the 16-item questionnaire has 5 dimensions, including follow-up [3 items; factor loadings (FL) = 0.619 to 0.869, and Cronbach's alpha (α) = 0.737], healthy lifestyle (5 items; FL = 0.709 to 0.846, α = 0.703), promoting qualifications (4 items; FL = 0.610 to 0.791, α = 0.594), medication therapy (2 items; FL = 0.699 and 0.740, α = 0.717), and following recommendations (2 items, FL = 0.577 and 0.744, α = 0.701). These 5 dimensions explained 62.686% of the variance. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the final self-care assessment questionnaire was 0.833.

conclusionThe developed questionnaire proved to have appropriate psychometric properties for measuring self-care in patients with HTN.
