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

introductionTo evaluate functional state, it is fundamental to have simple instruments that allow for monitoring the course of symptoms and the commitment of the functional status that adult COVID-19 survivors may present. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Post COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) scale. MATERIAL AND

methodsA cross-sectional scale validation study was performed. In the content validation 22-health professionals, whom through expert judgment evaluated the scale in the sufficiency, clarity, coherence and relevance categories. In addition, two professionals performed the retest with 20 people who had been infected with COVID-19. In addition, their observations and comments are revealed. The degree of agreement amongst the experts was determined with the Kendall coefficient. For the retest test, the Spearman coefficient was utilized. In all the analyzes, a P value of <.05 was considered.

resultsIn regards to the content validity, there was agreement between raters only for the relevance category (P=.032). A strong agreement was obtained between two evaluators (Spearman's Rho=.929 for the score). Some of the content terms were adjusted without affecting the general structure of the scale. Of the original 16 items that make up the PCFS scale, none was eliminated.

conclusionsThe Spanish version of the PCFS (Chile) was adapted to the cultural context of the country, shows good psychometric characteristics in terms of reliability.
