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

purposeThe Assessment of Burden of Chronic Conditions (ABCC) tool was developed to improve care by facilitating shared decision making and self-management. It assesses and visualizes the experienced burden of 1 or multiple chronic conditions and integrates it in daily care. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the ABCC scale is valid and reliable in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or type 2 diabetes (T2D).

methodsThe Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), the Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ-S), and the Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life Questionnaire (ADDQoL19) were compared with the ABCC scale to assess convergent validity. The internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's

resultsA total of 65 people with COPD, 62 with asthma, and 60 with T2D were included. The ABCC scale correlated, in accordance with hypotheses, with the SGRQ (75% of correlations ≥0.7), AQLQ-S (100%), and ADDQoL19 (75%). The ABCC scale was internally consistent with a Cronbach's

conclusionsThe ABCC scale is a valid and reliable questionnaire that can be used within the ABCC tool for people with COPD, asthma, or T2D. Future research should indicate whether this applies to people with multimorbidity, and what the effects and experiences are upon clinical use.
