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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesPrevious efforts to develop a resilience measure for older adults have largely failed to consider the environmental influences on their resilience, and have primarily concentrated on the resilience of community-dwelling older adults. Our objective was to validate a new multidimensional measure of resilience, the Making it CLEAR (MiC) questionnaire, for use with older adults at the point of discharge from hospital. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis study tested the structure, validity, and reliability of the MiC questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 34 items, which assess the "individual determinants of resilience" (IDoR) and the "environmental determinants of resilience" (EDoR) across 2 subscales. 416 adults aged 66-102 years participated. Exploratory factor analysis, item analysis, and linear regression were undertaken.

resultsThe IDoR subscale contained six factors which were labeled "Self-efficacy," "Values," "Interpersonal skills," "Life orientation," "Self-care ability," and "Process skills." The EDoR subscale contained five factors related to "Person-environment fit," "Friends," "Material assets," "Habits," and "Family." Both subscales demonstrated acceptable convergent validity and internal consistency, while individual items showed acceptable levels of discrimination and difficulty. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: The study provides evidence supporting the validity and quality of the MiC questionnaire. The results suggest that the MiC questionnaire could be used to identify the resilience needs of older adults at the point of hospital discharge. However, future research should identify which items of the MiC questionnaire are associated with hospital readmission, in order to develop an easily applicable screening tool for clinical practice.
