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

Introduction: Social participation is a valued aspect of quality of life among kidney transplant recipients; however, few validated measures exist to assess it. This study aimed to explore the reliability and validity of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities (PROMIS-SP), administered as a computer adaptive test (CAT), among kidney transplant recipients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving a convenience sample of adult recipients from Toronto, Canada. Participants completed the PROMIS-SP CAT and legacy measures of social participation on an electronic data capture platform. Reliability of the PROMIS-SP CAT was determined using standard error of measurement (SEM) and test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient. Convergent validity was assessed by calculating Spearman's correlation between the PROMIS-SP CAT and legacy measures, and construct validity was assessed using known group comparisons. Results: We recruited 284 participants with a mean (SD) age of 53 (14) years and a median of 5.5 years since kidney transplantation; 61% were male, 53% were White, and 30% had diabetes. The mean (SD) PROMIS T-score was 51 (9). Reliability ( Conclusion: Our results support the validity and reliability of PROMIS-SP CAT among kidney transplant recipients, and suggest that this tool can be used to identify recipients with restricted social participation.
