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

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate the breast cancer scale among the system of quality-of-life instruments for cancer patients (QLICP-BR V2.0). Methods: Programmed decision procedures and theories on instrument development were applied to develop QLICP-BR V2.0. A total of 246 breast cancer inpatients were investigated using QLICP-BR V2.0 from hospital admission until discharge. The reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the QLICP-BR V2.0 scale were evaluated by using the classical test theory combined with the generalizability theory (GT), including correlation analysis, multi-trait scaling analysis, factor analyses, Results: The test-retest reliability of the total scale is 0.79, the Cronbach coefficient is 0.85, and the intra-class correlations coefficient is 0.88. The item-domain correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficient between items and their own domain is greater than that with other domains except of item GSO4. The exploratory factor analysis showed that three principal components are obtained in the specific module. The outcome of the factor analysis coincides substantially with our theoretical conception. The score difference of each domain of the scale and the total scale before and after treatment is statistically significant ( Conclusion: QLICP-BR V2.0 exhibited reasonable degrees of validity, reliability, and responsiveness according to classical test and the generalizability theory. The number of items in the scale is appropriate.
