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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ-T). Methods: The study was conducted with 103 patients who had been experiencing tinnitus for longer than three months. All participants completed the TPFQ-T, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and the magnitude estimation. Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.88. Cronbach's alpha was also computed for every one of the four subscales: a=0.67 for sleep, a=0.72 for hearing, a=0.86 for concentration, and a=0.75 for emotion. There was a correlation between the overall score obtained from the TPFQ-T and its subcategories and other questionnaires measuring corresponding factors. Conclusion: Overall, the findings of this investigation show that the TPFQ-T is both reliable and valid. As a result, the current translated version of the TPFQ-T is suitable for patients who speak Turkish as their first language and serves as an effective tinnitus questionnaire.
