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

aimLong-term care needs are important for older adults with dementia in the West, but they have not received enough attention from China. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a long-term care needs instrument for older Chinese adults with dementia.

methodsA total of 1,212 older adults with dementia were recruited from five Chinese cities to complete a 30-item long-term care needs questionnaire. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire was evaluated using multiple assessments, including a content validity assessment, Cronbach's alpha, an item-to-total correlation test, and exploratory factor analysis.

resultsThe questionnaire was divided into four sub-sections: life care services (eight items), basic and specialist care services (12 items), mental comfort psychological services (four items), and homecare support services (six items). Cronbach's alpha was .93 for the whole questionnaire and ranged from .83 to .92 for the four sub-questionnaires. The item-to-total correlation coefficients for the four sub-questionnaires were between .68 and .88, and the test-retest correlation coefficient was .88.

conclusionOur results validated the reliability and validity of a questionnaire designed to measure the quality of long-term care services for older Chinese adults with dementia.
