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: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric evaluation of heart failure somatic perception scale (HFSPS) in Iranian heart failure patients. Materials and methods: A total of 220 heart failure (HF) patients were enroled in the study. Data gathering was conducted via consecutive sampling from August 2022 to April 2023. Face validity, content validity, construct validity, and internal consistency were used to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the HFSPS. Construct validity was done through confirmatory factor analysis and convergent validity. Convergent validity between HFSPS and symptom status questionnaire-heart failure was measured using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Cronbach's alpha and Macdonald's omega coefficient were used to evaluate the reliability of instruments. Results: A total of 220 HF patients participated in this study. Their mean age was 66.46 (SD=11.40). Among the participants, 70% were men. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis evaluation showed the goodness of fit indices of the final HFSPS model after modification was within an acceptable range (χ Conclusion: Overall, the Persian version of the HFSPS was determined to be a reliable and valid scale among Iranians with HF.
