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

Aims: The aim of this study was to adapt the Safety Climate Survey and examine its validity and reliability for use in the Turkish healthcare context. Background: Maintaining patient safety is a challenge for healthcare systems world-wide, and healthcare professionals need valid and reliable tools to measure improvements in safety. Methods: The Safety Climate Survey is unidimensional and contains 19 items, which are all five-point Likert-type scales as follows: 1 (totally disagree), 2 (disagree), 3 (neither agree nor disagree), 4 (agree), and 5 (totally agree). Language adaptation of the Safety Climate Survey conducted in accordance with the International Society for Pharma economics and Outcome Research (ISPOR) and expert assessments to calculate the content validity indices was undertaken in the first phase of the study. In phase two, a survey of 434 nurses employed in three hospitals in İzmir (Turkey) was conducted to test the construct validity with confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha, split-half reliability, and item-total correlation. The intraclass correlation coefficient was also checked via test-retest reliability for stability. Results: The content validity index score was 0.97 for the scale and above 0.90 for the items, confirming excellent validity. The confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate fit, and all the factor loadings were positive and greater than 0.30. Cronbach's alpha was 0.90, and Spearman̶-Brown coefficient 0.83, indicating good internal consistency. The item-total correlation coefficients were between 0.33 and 0.70, exceeding the acceptable level. The intraclass correlation coefficient value obtained was 0.84, reflecting a good level for time stability. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Safety Climate Survey is a valid, reliable, and practical tool which can provide essential data on safety issues for healthcare professionals and administrators.
