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

To assess the effectiveness of health promotion programs among Arabic-speaking patients, it is essential to have valid and reliable assessment tools in Arabic. The objectives of this study were: to translate the "Healthy Lifestyle and Personal Control Questionnaire (HLPCQ)" into Arabic; and to study the psychometric properties of this version in a sample of Tunisian patients with diabetes. A cross-sectional study was conducted among consecutive patients followed for diabetes in an Endocrinology clinic in Tunisia. The HLPCQ was translated into Arabic by two bilingual translators and back-translated by two other bilingual translators. The translated version was then administered by a medical doctor to participants via phone interviews. Statistical analyses included reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha, content validity and exploratory factor analysis. A total of 300 responses were obtained. The median age of participants was 57.5 years (IQR: 45.2-66.0). Females represented 55%. Cronbach's alpha coefficients exceeded 0.7 for almost all subscales. Exploratory factor analysis revealed nine factors explaining 65.9% of the total variance. Overall, the Arabic version of the HLPCQ has satisfactory validity and reliability indices. It could be used to assess adherence to a healthy lifestyle among Tunisian patients and in other Arab-speaking countries.
