Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale in Obstructive Lung Diseases.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
objectivesThe London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale (LCADL) is a simple, useful, and comprehensive measure of dyspnea perception in activities of daily living. This study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the LCADL. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 64 patients with obstructive lung disease (24 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 20 asthma, and 20 bronchiectasis patients) were included. The Turkish LCADL was evaluated for interobserver reliability, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity. Two different observers applied the scale with an interval of 10 minutes to assess interobserver reliability. The second observer applied the scale twice at an interval of 10-15 days to assess test-retest reliability. Criterion validity was assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).
resultsThe interobserver reliability of the scale was very high (r
conclusionThe Turkish version of the LCADL scale is reliable and valid in obstructive lung disease. The LCADL scale will be beneficial in existing pulmonary rehabilitation programs aiming to improve functional status. We believe that using the Turkish LCADL scale as an outcome measure in pulmonary rehabilitation programs will serve as an indicator of rehabilitation efficacy for individual patients.
