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

backgroundThe Newcastle Laryngeal Hypersensitivity Questionnaire (LHQ) was developed to measure abnormal laryngeal sensation and was originally validated in a patient sample from otolaryngologic and respiratory outpatient clinics. Modification is needed for patients who are mechanically ventilated via an endotracheal tube or a tracheostomy tube.

objectivesWe sought to adapt and preliminarily validate a modified version of the LHQ appropriate for nurses and other clinicians to administer in acute hospital settings called the LHQ-Acute (LHQ-A).

methodsInternal consistency and construct validity analyses using secondary data from patients at a tertiary teaching hospital who presented with symptoms of laryngeal irritability/hypersensitivity between September 2012 and October 2013 were performed.

resultsA total of 131 patients, most complaining of coughing and dysphonia, with a median age of 58 (interquartile range: 48, 66) years and 29 healthy participants with a median age of 62 (interquartile range: 50, 66) years were analysed. The original LHQ was reduced from 14 questions with responses on a 7-point scale to the LHQ-A containing 13 questions with responses on a 4-point scale. Correlations between items of the LHQ and LHQ-A were similar, and internal consistency was excellent and highly comparable, with Cronbach's alpha = 0.906 and 0.902, respectively.

conclusionsThe LHQ-A, which has been adapted for nurses and other clinicians to administer to a critically ill patient population, demonstrated comparable reliability and validity to the original LHQ. Validation of the LHQ-A in independent patient populations from acute settings is necessary to better understand norms and changes during recovery from acute illness.
