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

Background: The "credibility" and "expectation" regarding the treatment are important factors in the rehabilitation management of patients with spinal pain (SP). Objectives: The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate an Italian version of the credibility/expectancy questionnaire (CEQ-I) by Devilly and Borkovec (CEQ) for its application in SP in rehabilitative care. Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Methods: Ninety-nine patients ( Results: Ninety-nine subjects were recruited. Test-retest reliability between two consecutive administrations of the CEQ showed an ICC of 0.90 ( Conclusion: The CEQ-I is a valid Italian translation of CEQ that demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties in SP in a rehabilitative setting. However, we recommend further analysis of the construct definition of the CEQ-I.
