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

The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of IntegRATE-a 4-item patient-reported measure of integration in health care delivery-under controlled conditions. Adults who reported having received health care in the previous year were exposed to a fictional health care scenario featuring good, mixed, or poor integration on 1 or 2 occasions. They were then asked to imagine themselves as a patient in the scenario and complete IntegRATE and other measures. The data collected were analyzed to assess the discriminative, concurrent, and divergent validity of IntegRATE and its test-retest reliability and responsiveness using both "sum score" and "top score" scoring approaches. Six-hundred people participated in the study with 190 taking part on 2 occasions. The IntegRATE sum score demonstrated discriminative validity, concurrent validity, divergent validity, and responsiveness and partially demonstrated test-retest reliability. The IntegRATE top score demonstrated concurrent validity, divergent validity, and responsiveness and partially demonstrated discriminative validity and test-retest reliability. We conclude that the IntegRATE sum score exhibits encouraging psychometric properties and performs more optimally than the IntegRATE top score.
