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

objectivePersons with multiple sclerosis (MS) can experience communication changes, which can significantly impact their quality of life. To explore and help address these challenges, patient-reported outcome measures (P-CLAMS) can be valuable tools in both research and clinical practice. They can help track symptom progression, support patient-centered care, assess the effectiveness of service delivery, and complement clinical assessments. This study aimed to translate and validate the Persian version of the Communication and Language Assessment Questionnaire for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (P-CLAMS).

methodThe adaptation and translation of the questionnaire occurred in two phases: (1) translation and cultural adaptation and (2) validity and reliability. The final version of the P-CLAMS consists of 11 items with one component factor (communication/language).

resultsSignificant differences were observed in construct and criterion validity measures. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the P-CLAMS is a unidimensional measure for assessing communication difficulties in MS. The internal consistency was high (α = 0.92), and test/retest reliability was acceptable (ICC = 0.89). Additionally, the P-CLAMS effectively discriminated between people with MS (PwMS) and healthy controls.

conclusionThe psychometric evaluation demonstrated that the Persian version of the CLAMS (P-CLAMS) has good validity and reliability. The P-CLAMS can be a valuable tool for clinicians and researchers to assess communication changes in PwMS and evaluate intervention effectiveness.
