Validation of Chinese version of the familiar tools use test for assessing limb apraxia in stroke patients.

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.
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: To validate the Familiar Tools Use Test (FTT) of the Diagnostic Instrument for Limb Apraxia-Short Version in Chinese stroke patients. Methods: Participants were conveniently enrolled from a neurology ward in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, China, between April 2023 and September 2023. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, dimensionality, convergent validity, and divergent validity were examined. Results: In total, 110 ischemic stroke patients were included. The FTT demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.70-0.75), test-retest reliability (ICC 0.88-0.99, 95%CI), and inter-rater reliability (Kappa coefficients ranging from 0.83 to 1.00, Conclusion: The FTT was reliable and valid for assessing limb apraxia among Chinese ischemic stroke patients.
