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 negative impact of over-treatment in end-of-life individuals has led to attention to the value of death. Reassessing the attitude of death and dying can improve care and improve the quality of life. Therefore, the use of multidimensional tools to comprehensively assess the attitudes of individuals on dying and death, identify attitude tendencies and causes meaningful, and evaluate the effectiveness of the tools is an important prerequisite.

objectivesWe aimed to obtain MODDI-F-C through cross-cultural translation and to evaluate its psychometric characteristics among mainland China participants.

methodsIn order to obtain MODDI-F-C, a cross-cultural translation of MODDI- F/eng was performed using the Brislin model. The items quality, factor structure, reliability and validity were assessed among 2105 participants from mainland China. The concurrent validity was assessed using the Chinese version of DAP-R for the first time.

resultsMODDI-F-C consists of 27 items, and five common factors were identified through factor analysis, accounting for 56.79% of the overall variance.The total consistency coefficient was 0.949.The correlation coefficient between DAP-R-C-Z and the overall scale was 0.55 (p < 0.001), between DAP - R-C - Z and the subscale 0.37-0.56 (p < 0.001).Most of the methods used for psychometric evaluation meet acceptable criteria.

conclusionsOur research has initially confirmed that MODDI-F-C is an effective tool to evaluate the fear dimension of death and dying attitude, which can identify individuals' tendencies and causes related to dying and death. However, the acceptance dimension needs further assessment.
