Construct validity, floor and ceiling effects, data completeness and magnitude of change for the eight-item HAKIR questionnaire: a patient-reported outcome in the Swedish National Healthcare Quality Registry for hand surgery.

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
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the construct validity, floor and ceiling effects, data completeness and magnitude of change over time for the eight-item patient questionnaire (HQ-8) in the Swedish Healthcare Quality Registry for hand surgery (HAKIR). Methods: Construct validity was investigated through predefined hypotheses and correlation statistics between the single items in HQ-8 (pain on load, pain on motion without load, pain at rest, stiffness, weakness, numbness, cold sensitivity and ability to perform daily activities) and QuickDASH. Floor and ceiling effects and data completeness were analysed at preoperative ( Results: Correlation coefficients at pre, 3 and 12 months ranged from 0.44 to 0.79 in the total group. No ceiling effect occurred, but a floor effect for the total group was noted for all items at all follow-ups. Missing responses were < 2.6% except for cold sensitivity. The effect sizes varied from small to large for individual items in elective diagnoses. For acute injuries, small effect sizes were found. Discussion: This study provides evidence of construct validity of HQ-8, lack of ceiling effect, expected floor effect, good data completeness and an ability to detect changes over time. The results indicate that HQ-8 measures unique aspects of disability. The HQ-8 could complement the Quick-DASH in describing patient-reported outcomes after hand surgery.
