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

backgroundEmergency health professionals face health risks and ethical dilemmas that can impact their well-being. This study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Abbreviated Moral Injury Outcome Scale (AMIOS) for these professionals.

methodsThis scale development study was carried out in Mashhad, Iran, in 2024. The original AMIOS was translated using a forward-backward method. Content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), based on assessments from 11 experts. Face validity was evaluated both quantitatively through the impact score and qualitatively. Construct validity was analyzed with Confirmatory Factor Analysis involving 280 participants. Reliability was measured by Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients for internal consistency and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for stability, based on data from 30 emergency health professionals.

resultsThe translated questionnaire demonstrated confirmed face validity. The content validity indices were acceptable with a CVR of 0.802 and a CVI of 0.762. Construct validity was supported, with item factor loadings exceeding 0.4. The internal consistency was strong: Cronbach's alpha was 0.837 for Shame-related Outcomes, 0.788 for Trust Violation Outcomes, and an overall alpha of 0.881. The ICC was 0.859, indicating good reproducibility.

conclusionsThe Persian version of AMIOS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the impact of moral injury in emergency healthcare settings. This tool facilitates a more comprehensive understanding and diagnosis of moral injuries.
