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

Introduction: Food-related quality of life (FR-QoL) has been shown to be an important patient-reported outcome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to translate and validate a Portuguese version of the FR-QoL-29. Methods: This was a case-control cross-sectional study undertaken at a tertiary hospital. After obtaining the original authors' authorization, both forward and backward translations of the original FR-QoL-29 were performed by bilingual researchers. After an IBD expert's revision and the input of a small group of patients, a final version was obtained. Portuguese IBD patients were prospectively recruited from the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital and completed the questionnaire at two timepoints (0 and 4 weeks). Reliability (internal consistency, test-retest, and intraclass correlation [ICC]), validity (content and convergent validity, and hypothesis testing using Spearman's correlations), and responsiveness (Student Results: 239 patients (mean age 50.1 [SD = 15.3 years], 56.5% female) and 87 (36.4%) patients answered the questionnaire at the first and second timepoints, respectively; 126 controls answered the questionnaire. Overall, the FR-QoL-29-Portuguese showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.97) and good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.78 [95% CI: 0.64-0.85]). FR-QoL moderately correlated with health-related quality of life, measured by the SIBDQ-PT ( Discussion/Conclusions: We present an adaptation and validation of the FR-QoL-29 tool for Portuguese IBD patients. The FR-QoL-29-Portuguese is a reliable and valid tool shown to be responsive to changes in general well-being.
