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

objectivesThis study aims to translate and investigate the inter- rater reliability, agreement and validity of the Turkish version of the Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS-TR) in patients with hip fracture. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study included patients with a hip fracture of the femoral neck between July 2019 and March 2020 at the Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Education Hospital, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul. The CAS manual and score-sheet were translated into Turkish. An orthopedician and a physiotherapist independently administered the CAS-TR to 36 patients (12 males, 24 females; mean age 78.7 years; range, 65 to 90 years) at postoperative days one, two, three and 30. Weighted Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to measure inter-rater reliability. Turkish version of modified Barthel Index was used for analysis of validity.

resultsThe majority of the patients had type III fracture (72.2%) according to Garden's classification. The kappa value was ≥0.90 for days one-three, the total and 30th day score of CAS-TR. The observed agreement ranged between 91.6% and 100% for all assessments. Validity analysis showed a significantly positive correlation between day two and day 30 CAS-TR and Barthel scores.

conclusionWe found almost perfect reliability, high percentage agreement and acceptable convergent validity of the CAS-TR. We recommend the CAS to be used as an easily applicable instrument to assess basic mobility status in Turkish patients with hip fracture. Orthopedic and geriatric patients and patients undergoing any type of surgery can be assessed with CAS for early evaluation of mobility status.
