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
Context: To assess and address a patient's dignity and dignity-related distress would greatly benefit patients who have advanced stage disease. The Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) allows clinicians to identify sources of dignity-related distress for patients. The PDI should be evaluated for use in a local Chinese setting. Objectives: To validate the Patient Dignity Inventory Hong Kong-Chinese (Cantonese) version (PDI-HK) and assess the psychometric properties in patients in an inpatient palliative setting in Hong Kong. Method: The English version of the PDI was translated and back translated, then reviewed by a panel including a clinician, clinical psychologist, and nurse clinician. Recruited patients would complete the PDI-HK, the Chinese version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire-Hong Kong (MQOL-HK), and the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale. Psychometric properties including internal consistency, concurrent validity, test-retest reliability, and factor analysis were tested. Results: A total of 97 consecutive patients were recruited into the study. The mean PDI score was 51.85 (range 25-102). Cronbach's alpha was 0.953 ( Conclusion: The PDI was translated into Chinese (Cantonese) and applied in an inpatient palliative care unit in Hong Kong, with adequate validity. The PDI-HK version can be further used in a larger Chinese population to assess and address dignity-related issues.
