Brief Report: An Evaluation of Item Bias on the Functional Activities Questionnaire.
Article in Archives of clinical neuropsychology : the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychologists, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate whether the Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ), a commonly used measure of functional status in neurodegenerative disease research, performs equivalently across demographically diverse subgroups of participants.
methodThe FAQs from 30,613 National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center participants were evaluated with a hybrid graded response model-logistic ordinal regression approach to determine the presence of differential item functioning (DIF) within five demographic groups: education, ethnicity, race, language, and sex.
resultsMeasurable DIF was observed for FAQ items in all groups; however, measures of effect size, latent trait distributions, and item characteristic curves suggested that the impact was minimal for research and practice.
conclusionsThe FAQ is able to provide minimally biased assessments of daily functioning across diverse participants, suggesting potential value for offsetting disparities in diagnosis and treatment.
