Validation of the Assessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist in a Swedish cancer population.
Article in Journal of patient-reported outcomes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundAssessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist (ARNC), has been developed to assess rehabilitation need in cancer patients and is recommended by the Confederation of Regional Cancer Centres in Sweden, known as Hälsoskattningen. The aim of the study was to test the reliability and validity of the ARNC, mainly by comparing it with the Distress thermometer and EORTC QLQ-C30. METHODOLOGY: A sample of 993 persons identified in the Swedish cancer register. The study participants were diagnosed with cancer in 2021 in the Mid Sweden region. The psychometric methods tested reliability and validity including factor analysis.
resultsThe response rate was 38%. The test-retest analysis showed that ICC was 0.80 or higher for 12 of the ARNC items. A strong or modarete correlation between ARNC and the other instruments was found in all functional scales and for most items. CFA of the 13-item two-factor model showed a RMSEA value of 0.04, CFI and TLI values of 0.97 and 0.96, and a SRMR value of 0.05, indicating a satisfactory model fit.
conclusionThe evaluation of the ARNC suggests that it is an acceptable and reliable screening instrument for detecting symptoms and signs indicating a possible need of rehabilitation. The medium to strong correlations between ARNC items and the EORTC QLQ- C30 items and scales suggest that ARNC could be an alternative also for research purposes when a shorter and less comprehensive instrument is needed. The simple design could be an advantage as it lowers the burden on cancer patients.
