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

aimThe aim of this study was to probe the rigorousness of the factor structure of the HDSMI and to test the instrument's construct validity.

designCross-sectional study.

methodsThe hemodialysis unit of four hospitals in Taiwan provided data from 628 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), through the period of September to December in 2012. The patients were divided into a calibration sample for CFA and model modification, and a validation sample for cross-validation of the postmodification model. Goodness of fit was tested with standard fit indices.

resultsThe four latent variables (i.e. partnership, self-care, problem-solving and emotional management) were verified as dimensions of HDSMI through CFA. The construct validity of the HDSMI was improved by omitting two items, allowing one inter-item correlation and transferring the loading of one item. These modifications improved fit indices of the calibration sample. Cross-validation of the validation sample verified the construct validity of the modified HDSMI-18.
