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

backgroundEvidence-based assessments for people with aphasia (PWA) in Greek are predominantly impairment based. Functional communication (FC) is usually underreported and neglected by clinicians. This study explores the adaptation and psychometric testing of the Greek (GR) version of The Scenario Test. The test assesses the everyday FC of PWA in an interactive multimodal communication setting.

aimsTo determine the reliability and validity of The Scenario Test-GR and discuss its clinical value. METHODS & PROCEDURES: The Scenario Test-GR was administered to 54 people with chronic stroke (6+ months post-stroke): 32 PWA and 22 stroke survivors without aphasia. Participants were recruited from Greece and Cyprus. All measures were administered in an interview format. Standard psychometric criteria were applied to evaluate reliability (internal consistency, test-retest, and interrater reliability) and validity (construct and known-groups validity) of The Scenario Test-GR. OUTCOMES &

resultsThe Scenario Test-GR shows high levels of reliability and validity. High scores of internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.95), test-retest reliability (intra-class coefficients (ICC) = 0.99), and interrater reliability (ICC = 0.99) were found. Interrater agreement in scores on individual items ranged from good to excellent levels of agreement. Correlations with a tool measuring language function in aphasia, a measure of FC, two instruments examining the psychosocial impact of aphasia and a tool measuring non-verbal cognitive skills revealed good convergent validity (all ps < 0.05). Results showed good known-groups validity (Mann-Whitney U = 96.5, p < 0.001), with significantly higher scores for participants without aphasia compared with those with aphasia. CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The psychometric qualities of The Scenario Test-GR support the reliability and validity of the tool for the assessment of FC in Greek-speaking PWA. The test can be used to assess multimodal FC, promote aphasia rehabilitation goal-setting at the activity and participation levels, and be used as an outcome measure of everyday communication abilities.
