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

objectiveTo select a set of rehabilitation outcome instruments for a national Neurotrauma Quality Registry (Net-QuRe) among professionals involved in the care of patients with traumatic brain injury.

designA 3-round online Delphi procedure. SUBJECTS: Eighty professionals from multiple disciplines working in 1 of the 8 participating rehabilitation centres were invited to participate. The response rate varied from 70% to 76% per round.

methodsFor the Delphi procedure, multiple outcome categories were defined based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with concomitant measurement instruments. For each category we strived for consensus on one instrument of at least 75%.

resultsAfter the first round, consensus was reached for the category subjective cognitive functioning. After the second round for quality of life, pain, general functioning, anxiety and depression, general psychological functioning, communication (impairment), and personal factors. Finally, after the third round, consensus was reached for activities of daily living, participation, self-awareness, and aphasia. No consensus was reached for the categories motor function, cognitive function, comorbidity, fatigue, and employment status.

conclusionConsensus was reached in 12 out of 17 outcome categories. A Delphi procedure seems to be a feasible method to collectively select measurement instruments for a multicentre study.
