Intrarater reliability of the Abilitator-a self-report questionnaire on work ability and functioning aimed at the population in a weak labour market position: a test-retest study.

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
objectivesThe Abilitator is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of work ability and functioning of those in a weak labour market position. It covers items for work ability and self-rated health, for example, and summary scales for social, psychological, cognitive and physical functioning, as well as everyday skills. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intrarater test-retest reliability, internal consistency and basic psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the Abilitator. DESIGN, SETTING AND OUTCOME: The test-retest study was conducted in European Social Fund projects in 2018-2019. The participants completed two Abilitator questionnaires over 7-14 days. The internal consistency analysis was based on data collected in 2017-2019 in services for the long-term unemployed. The reliability was assessed using correlations (
participantsThe test-retest study had 67 participants (52% men, mean age 43.9 years) and the internal consistency study 10 923 (48% men, mean age 38.58 years), respectively. Of all the participants, 80% had been unemployed for over a year.
resultsThe test-retest
conclusionsThe Finnish version of the Abilitator is a reliable PROM for the target group and has acceptable to excellent intrarater test-retest reliability and internal consistency, apart from the life satisfaction item. Further testing is needed for the social functioning summary scale.
