Psychometric Evaluation of Patient Health Questionnaire 9 Hindi for Use with Patients with Cancer in Community Palliative Care Settings.
Article in Indian journal of palliative care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) has previously undergone validation with patients with various types of cancer, but psychometric validation of PHQ-9 Hindi among patients with cancer receiving palliative care services in northern regions of India is required. This study aimed at psychometric validation of a culturally adapted version of PHQ-9 Hindi for early screening of depression among cancer patients receiving palliative care services in a community setting. Materials and Methods: A sample of adult patients ( Results: The exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor solution consistent with the hypothesised model, yielding two sub-scales namely, physical and emotional concerns. The confirmatory factor indices within our sample were conclusive suggesting a relatively good fit between the hypothesised model and the observed data, thus confirming the cross-cultural validity of PHQ-9 Hindi. The physical sub-scale confirmed moderate internal consistency (α = 0.5) while the emotional sub-scale presented high internal consistency (α = 0.734). The associations between PHQ-9 Hindi with IPOS Hindi individual items were significant ( Conclusion: A psychometrically validated version of PHQ-9 Hindi has been presented to screen depression among patients with cancer in northern parts of India. Further research is required to adapt and check the validity of PHQ-9 in other regional languages among different populations across the country.
