Accuracy of rating scales for evaluating aphasic patients' psychological aspects and language function: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aphasia nearly affects half of all poststroke patients. Furthermore, aphasia affects all language functions, well-being, and quality of life of patients. Therefore, rehabilitation of patients with aphasia requires an accurate assessment of language function and psychological aspects. However, assessment scales for language function and psychological aspects of patients with aphasia are said to be inaccurate. In Japan, this sign is more prominent than in English-speaking countries. Therefore, we are putting together a scoping review of research articles published in English and Japanese to date, with the aim of summarizing the accuracy of rating scales for language function and psychological aspects of people with aphasia. The scoping review was intended to be a comprehensive examination of the accuracy of rating scales for people with aphasia. We will search the article databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and the Medical Journal Web (Japan). The observational studies that describe the reliability and validity of the rating scales in adult aphasic after stroke will be searched for. There will be no publication date for the articles that will be searched. We believe that this scoping review aims to assess the accuracy of rating scales used to measure different aspects of aphasia, with a focus on research conducted in English-speaking countries and Japan. By conducting this review, we believe to identify any problems with rating scales used in English and Japanese research and improve their accuracy.
