Application of the Rasch measurement model in rehabilitation research and practice: early developments, current practice, and future challenges.
Article in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
The application of the Rasch measurement model in rehabilitation is now well established. Both its dichotomous and polytomous forms provide for transforming ordinal scales into interval-level measures, consistent with the requirements of fundamental measurement. The growth of applying the model in rehabilitation spans 30 years, during which both the protocol has steadily developed and several software packages have emerged that provide for analysis, together with the "R" language that has an increasing set of codes for applying the model. This article reviews that development and highlights current practice requirements, including those for providing the relevant information for the methods, and what is expected of the analysis. In addition, this provides a worked example and looks at the remaining issues and current developments of its application.
