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

backgroundAnxiety disorder is a common non-motor symptom among individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). At present, there are no specific tools in China for assessing the anxiety level of patients with PD. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Parkinson Anxiety Scale (C-PAS) in Chinese patients with PD.

methodsA total of 158 patients with PD at one hospital in Nanjing were recruited through convenience sampling. The C-PAS was translated into Chinese using a classic 'forward-backward' translation method. Reliability tests included internal consistency and test-reliability. And in addition to content, structure and criterion-related validity were performed for the validity tests. Criterion-related validity was evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety Subscale (HADS-A).

resultsResults confirmed the three-factor structure of the original C-PAS with 12 items, including persistent anxiety (5 items), episodic anxiety (4 items) and avoidance behavior (3 items). Significant and positive correlations were obtained between C-PAS and HADS-A (r = 0.82, P<0.01). The Cronbach's α and test-retest reliability of the total scale were 0.89 and 0.84, respectively.

conclusionThe C-PAS has demonstrated good psychometric properties. Therefore, it can be employed in patients with PD to evaluate the condition of anxiety.
