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

backgroundInvestigating the status of intergenerational relationships of elderly parents with their adult childen is very important in examining issues related to the status of the elderly such as well being and quality of life and other aspects of elderly life. Giveeen the significance of the topic, the current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of "Intergenerational Relationship Quality Scale for Aging Parents and Their Children" (IRQS-AP). MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 463 community-dwelling elders (aged 60 years or older) in Tehran participated in this study through multistage cluster sampling method. To investigate reliability, the construct and convergent validity of the IRQS-AP, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and interclass correlation coefficient were done.

resultsThe content validity index was 0.84 for the entire tool. In the CFA, we found the instrument had a four-factor structure and adequate internal consistency. The scale had a significant and positive correlation with the two measures of loneliness and depression. Furthermore, Cronbach's alpha was estimated at 0.77, and the high value of the interclass correlation was 0.82.

conclusionThe IRQS-AP is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to examine the status of intergenerational relationship quality in Iranian elder population.
