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

purposeThe present study tested the fit and comparability of the tripartite model of health (Physical Health, Mental Health, and Social Health) proposed by the NIH PROMIS for adults with SCI and TBI.

methodsParticipants were 630 adults with spinal cord injury (SCI; n = 336) and traumatic brain injury (TBI; n = 294) who completed 8 PROMIS short forms. The Physical Health domain is composed of the Physical Function, Pain Interference, and Fatigue scales. The Mental Health domain included the Depression, Anxiety, and Anger scales. Social Health included the Social Emotional Support scale.

resultsConfirmatory factor analyses supported the tripartite model of health over a unifactorial model of health for both SCI and TBI groups. Measurement invariance testing indicated the tripartite model met the level of configural and metric invariance for TBI and SCI groups, suggesting comparable structure and factor loadings. Failure to meet the level of scalar invariance indicated unequal intercepts across groups. Physical Function was identified as the source of noninvariance, and a partial scalar invariance model permitting different Physical Function intercepts across conditions was supported.

conclusionConsistent with theory, findings supported construct validity of the PROMIS tripartite structure of health composed of Physical, Mental, and Social Health. PROMIS measures appeared to tap domains of health consistent with what is accepted for SCI and TBI populations, although the measurement of Physical Function was not equivalent across groups. Findings support the utility of PROMIS broadly as well as the need for condition-optimized measurement.
