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.

Abstract

objectivesThis study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-Efficacy for Hearing Aids (MARS-HA) in elderly Iranian adults. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Tehran, 2021. Following translation and cross-cultural adaptation, the face validity, content validity, and reliability of the questionnaire were assessed. The Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life (SADL) questionnaire was used to assess concurrent validity. Study participants included 300 hearing-aid users aged 60 years and older who completed the research instruments. Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent

resultsThe mean (SD) age of the participants was 71.38 (8.05) years. The face and content validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by ten experts (CVI > 0.91). The CFA supported the four-factor structure of the questionnaire, and the goodness-of-fit indices indicated that the final model had a good fit. The Cronbach's alpha for the total questionnaire was 0.93, and for the subscales, it ranged between 0.83 and 0.93. The Pearson's correlation analysis results showed a positive and significant correlation between MARS-HA and SADL scores (

conclusionsThe P-MARS-HA questionnaire demonstrates good validity and reliability and can be used as an appropriate tool for assessing self-efficacy in hearing-aid use among elderly Iranian adults.
