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

Background: The measurement of the coping difficulties of parents of premature infants after discharge provides objective data for nurses to prepare infants for discharge. However, no Chinese scale has been developed to measure parents' coping difficulties after their premature infants are discharged. Aim: To translate the parent version of the Post-Discharge Coping Difficulty Scale (Ped-PDCDS) from English to Chinese and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version in parents of premature infants. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study of 356 parents of premature infants was conducted. The scale was symmetrically translated. Validity was evaluated in terms of content, construct, discriminant, and convergent validities. Reliability was assessed in terms of internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability. Results: The Chinese Ped-PDCDS finally contained 11 items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses results showed that the Chinese Ped-PDCDS had three dimensions, and the convergent and discriminant validities of the scale was satisfactory. The overall reliability, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability of the scale was 0.85, 0.92, and 0.84, respectively. Conclusion: The Chinese Ped-PDCDS has adequate psychometric properties, and is an easy and appropriate instrument for measuring parents' difficulty in coping with premature infants.
