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

objectivesThe Question Prompt List (QPL) enhances patients' consultation preparation by improving health literacy and communication with healthcare professionals. A validated tool for this context is not yet available. We adapted and translated an Australian QPL to ensure its validity. This study seeks to improve patient-centred communication and health literacy through the QPL. This study aims to conduct a translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the QPL. STUDY

designCross-cultural adaptation.

methodsBeaton's five-step guide inspired the cross-cultural adaptation, which involved forward and back translations from the Australian to Danish versions. Patients at the orthopaedic department tested the final version, evaluating the QPL for clarity, usefulness, and context. Four semi-structured interviews supplemented this process. Feedback from patients led to the refinement and finalisation of the QPL.

resultsThe translations revealed some contradictions, indicating a need for QPL adjustments to fit the Danish context. Most patients were satisfied with the QPL, finding it beneficial and comprehensive. They noted that the QPL would have been helpful in previous consultations. Minor criticisms of specific questions were also raised, leading to further discussion and refinement.

conclusionsThis cross-cultural adaptation has ensured the validity and quality of a Danish QPL, and implementation strategies are now ready for investigation.
