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

introductionThe RhinAsthma Patient Perspective (RAPP) was developed in Italian to assess the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) impairment in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) in daily practice.

aimTo cross-culturally validate the Polish version. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe Polish version was administered to patients suffering from asthma and rhinitis in a prospective observational study. Polish RAPP, along with SF-12, ACT, and a Symptomatologic VAS was filled in twice, with a 4-week interval between visits. At visit 2, a Global Rating Scale (GRS) was completed to assess any change in health status. Internal consistency, validity, reliability, discriminant ability and responsiveness to change as well as Minimal Important Difference were determined.

resultsThe factor and confirmatory analysis revealed a unidimensional structure of RAPP. Internal consistency was satisfactory with Cronbach's α (visit 1 = 0.85, visit 2 = 0.89). High reliability (ICC = 0.89 and a CCC = 0.94) was found. Validity analyses showed good correlations of the Polish RAPP with Physical and Mental Component Scores of SF-12. In addition, RAPP adequately discriminated patients on the basis of the asthma control level and rhinitis severity (

conclusionsThe study confirmed the reliability and validity of the Polish version of RAPP demonstrating that it is a useful tool in the assessment of HRQoL in patients with asthma and comorbid allergic rhinitis, in clinical practice.
