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

purposeThe purpose was to identify how the ICECAP-A and ICECAP-O have been used with adults who have neurological health conditions.

methodsFollowing the Joanna Briggs Institute framework, a scoping review was conducted, searching five databases (Scopus, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO). Studies were included if participants were adults (age 18+ years) with neurological health conditions, and ICECAP-A or ICECAP-O were used in the study. Exclusions included studies about mental health conditions, protocols, and abstracts. Two authors screened abstracts and full texts independently. Conflicts were resolved through consensus. Data were categorized and synthesized.

resultsSearch results included 1163 articles and 571 studies were screened. The team reviewed 37 full-text articles, with 14 studies included. Eleven studies utilized ICECAP-O; three utilized ICECAP-A. Nine studies were from Europe, three from Canada, and two from Australia. The uses of ICECAP measures included psychometric studies (9), economic evaluation (3), program evaluation (1), and testing associations (1). Nine studies focused on dementia, with 7 of those including proxy evaluations, two studies involved individuals with spinal cord injury, and one study each focused on individuals with Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and various neurological conditions. Both ICECAP-O and ICECAP-A were referred to in the studies as measures of well-being, capability, quality of life or some combination.

conclusionsICECAP-O has not been thoroughly examined in neurological health conditions outside of dementia. There is potential for further psychometric testing of both ICECAP-A and ICECAP-O in neurological conditions and research into the application of capability measures in clinical and research settings.
