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

objectivesThe Bournemouth Questionnaire is a comprehensive and short form multidimensional instrument developed to evaluate the health status of individuals with low back pain. The objective of this study was to verify the construct validity and the test-retest reliability of the Brazilian version of Bournemouth Questionnaire in individuals with low back pain.

methodsThis is a methodological study that included 65 patients with low back pain. The Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire was applied twice, and the test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change (MDC), and internal consistency. The construct validity of the Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire was assessed using the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and also with the following questionnaires: Roland-Morris Questionnaire (RMDQ), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).

resultsThe total score of the Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire showed ICC of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72, 0.90), Cronbach´s alpha of 0.85, SEM of 5.97, and MDC of 15.54, without evidence of ceiling and floor effects. The total score of the Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire was correlated to the NPRS for current (r = 0.64), highest (r = 0.49), and lowest (r = 0.67) pain as well as scores on the RMDQ (r = 0.58), ODI (r = 0.42), and SF-36 (r = -0.58).

conclusionThe total score of the Brazilian version of the Bournemouth Questionnaire is valid and reliable to be used with patients with low back pain.
