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

objectivesTo determine the factor structure and test the clinometric properties of wrist and hand version of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation.

designCross-sectional study using Rasch analysis and factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the factor structure. Higher-order factor analysis was used to explore the hierarchical structure of the items. The Rasch model was used to assess the overall fit, reliability, validity, and construct unidimensionality. Rasch analysis and factor analysis were conducted using RUMM2030 and LISREL software, respectively.

settingOutpatient hand rehabilitation clinic.

participantsA convenience sample of patients (N=206) with various hand injuries who completed the Persian version of the Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE-P) at 2 months postinjury. The study included 66 men and 139 women, with a mean age of 40 years.

interventionNot applicable.

main outcome measuresThe PRWHE-P was used as a patient-reported measure of pain and disability in wrist and hand conditions.

resultsFactor analysis confirmed 3-factor models of the PRWHE-P. Items fit well to the Rasch model in 3 subscales. The PRWHE-P had a good item reliability (0.82) and good internal consistency (0.8). No differential item functioning was detected for age, sex, dominant hand, or injured hand.

conclusionsThe results of this study indicated that the PRWHE-P with 3 sub scales is a reliable and valid measurement tool and could be used in patients with different wrist and hand disabilities.
