Measuring psychological flexibility and cognitive defusion in individuals with acquired brain injury.
Article in Brain injury, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used increasingly for individuals with psychological distress following acquired brain injury (ABI) in different countries. However, questionnaires measuring ACT-processes are often not validated for this patient group and need cross-cultural validation. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Acquired Brain Injury (AAQ-ABI; measuring psychological flexibility related to thoughts and feelings about ABI) and the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ-7; measuring cognitive defusion). MATERIALS AND
methodsScore distribution, reliability, and convergent validity of the AAQ-ABI and the CFQ-7 were examined in Dutch individuals with ABI.
resultsSeventy-three patients with ABI were included. The AAQ-ABI showed good reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.87) and the CFQ-7 excellent reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.97). Both did not show a floor or ceiling effect, nor a skewed distribution. There were strong to moderate correlations between the questionnaires and measures of psychological flexibility, mood, quality of life, and value-driven behavior (AAQ-ABI: r = -0.70-0.81; CFQ-7 = -0.67-0.84). Inter-item total correlations indicate that the questions within each questionnaire measured the same construct (AAQ-ABI: r = 0.40-0.78; CFQ-7: r = 0.84-0.93).
conclusionsThe current study shows that the Dutch AAQ-ABI and CFQ-7 have acceptable to good psychometric properties when measuring psychological flexibility and cognitive defusion in patients with ABI.
