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

contextSpasticity is one of the most complicated problems after spinal cord injury (SCI). Different assessment tools are used to assess spasticity and its impact on individuals with SCI. The modified Patient-Reported Impact of Spasticity Measure (mPRISM) is a recommended tool to measure spasticity in spinal cord damage.

objectiveTo translate and cross-culturally adapt mPRISM to Arabic and examine its validity and reliability in a sample of Lebanese adults with SCI.

designA cross-sectional study.

participants107 individuals with SCI. OUTCOME MEASURES: mPRISM.

interventionmPRISM was translated into Arabic, and pilot testing of the pre-final version was conducted. Exploratory factor analysis, Poisson regression, and Cronbach's alpha were performed to evaluate the construct and convergent validity and reliability of the Arabic version of mPRISM (AR-mPRISM).

resultsmPRISM was successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted to Arabic. Results of an exploratory factor analysis conducted on the scale showed a coherent 5-domain structure that explained 69.631% of the total variance. Convergent validity was demonstrated by a significant association with sociodemographic and injury correlates. The five extracted subscales demonstrated high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha > 0.8.

conclusionResults support the construct and convergent validity and reliability of AR-mPRISM for assessing spasticity impact on the quality of life of Arabic Speaking SCI population.
