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

backgroundKidney transplantation leads to continuous improvement in the survival rates of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and has been established as the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has become an important outcome measure. It is highly important to develop reliable methods to evaluate HRQoL with disease-specific questionnaires.

aimTo translate the disease-specific instrument Kidney Transplant Questionnaire 25 (KTQ-25) to the Greek language and perform a cross-cultural adaptation.

methodsThe translation and adaptation of the original English version of the KTQ-25 to the Greek language were performed based on the International Quality of Life Assessment.

resultsEighty-four KTRs (59 males; mean age 53.5 ± 10.7 years; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate 47.7 ± 15.1 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionAccording to the findings, the Greek version of the KTQ-25 is valid and reliable for administration among kidney transplant patients in Greece.
