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.

Abstract

introductionThe Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate the impact of headache on quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess reliability and validity of Turkish version of HIT-6 questionnaire in patients with migraine.

methodsA total of 114 patients with migraine were included in this multicenter, prospective, descriptive study conducted at two consecutive visits 4 weeks apart. Comprehensibility, patient-physician reliability, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and validity of the translated HIT-6 were analyzed.

resultsPatients identified that HIT-6 items were "well-understood" in both visit 1 (ranged from 88.6% to 95.7%) and visit 2 (ranged from 93.0% to 98.2%). A highly positive correlation (R=0.876, p<0.001) was noted between visit 1 scores related to self-administered and physician-administered HIT-6 scores. Internal consistency analyzed via Cronbach's α values for visit 1 and visit 2 HIT-6 scores in all patients were 0.753 (acceptable) and 0.864 (excellent), respectively. HIT-6 scores of patients (64.13 (6.20) and 62.70 (7.04), at visits 1 and 2, respectively, p=0.07) showed a moderate test-re-test reliability (R=0.437, p=0.0004). The HIT-6 score positively correlated with visit 1 and visit 2 headache severity-Likert scale (R=0.451 and 0.478, respectively, p<0.001) and VAS (R=0.365 and 0.531, respectively p<0.001) scores, and with visit 2 headache days for a month (R=0.215, p=0.022).

conclusionThese results demonstrated that the Turkish translation is equivalent to English version of HIT-6 in terms of internal consistency and it has moderate test-retest reliability and validity as correlated with headache severity, VAS and headache days for a month.
