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

introduction and hypothesisWe sought to further develop and validate the Surgical Preparedness Assessment (SPA) scale to evaluate patient preparedness for urogynecological surgery.

methodsThis was a planned ancillary analysis of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the impact of a preoperative telehealth call on patient preparedness for urogynecological surgery. Patients completed the Preoperative Preparedness Questionnaire (PPQ), the modified Preparedness for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Questionnaire (PCSQ), the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20), the Satisfaction Decision Scale (SDS), and the Decision Regret Scale (DRS). Content validity was established through expert opinion and patient cognitive interviews. Factor analysis identified item grouping into domains. Cronbach's alpha reported internal consistency. Known group validity was assessed by comparing intervention arms. External validity was evaluated by comparing intervention arms and correlations with SDS and DRS.

resultsEleven items and 3 domains met the criteria (information needs, satisfaction and pain, and catheterization). Cronbach's alpha values were acceptable for domains and ranged from 0.74 to 0.93. SPA scores did not correlate with other patient-reported outcomes. Mean SPA scores were lower among women who received a telehealth call vs those who did not (1.30 ± 0.31 vs 1.51 ± 0.44; p = 0.002).

conclusionsThe content-valid SPA demonstrates high internal consistency and known group validity.
