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

backgroundTo transfer a paper-version Chinese and Western medication adherence scale for CKD into an electronic scale, and evaluate its validity, internal consistency and clinical implementation, and assess whether the transition is feasible in clinic.

methodsWe built an e-version Chinese and Western medication adherence scale based on the Wen-JuanXing platform. CKD subjects' responses were applied to test the scale's validity and internal consistency. We retested some of the participants two weeks later randomly. We also tested the clinical application.

resultsOf the 434 recruited patients, 228 responded. In exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy = 0.8 and Bartlett's approx. Chi-Square = 1340.0 (

conclusionThe e-version Chinese and Western medication adherence scales have undesirable construct validity and internal consistency. Thus, caution is needed in transitioning the paper-version scale into an e-version.
