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

backgroundEvaluation of socioeconomic status (SES) is an important aspect in community-based health studies and it is a major predictor of health and nutritional status as well as mortality and morbidity from many diseases. This study aimed to construct and validate socioeconomic status short-from questionnaire (SES-SQ) in Iranian population.

methodsThis cross-sectional methodological study was conducted among 1437 Iranian general population. Face and content validity of the developed questionnaire was evaluated qualitatively. Internal consistency, construct validity using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and latent class analysis (LCA), and convergent and known-group validity were also evaluated.

resultsThe SES-SQ consisted of 6 items. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.64, showing acceptable internal consistency. EFA resulted in two factors explaining 47.78% of total variance. Three SES classes (low/middle/high) were extracted by LCA. The score of SES-SQ ranged from 0 to 17; two cutoff scores of 4.5 and 8.5 were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for differentiating low from middle and middle from high SES classes, respectively.

conclusionAn efficient, reliable, and valid short-form questionnaire was developed for evaluating SES in Iranian general population. The relevancy of questionnaire items is not lost over time.
