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: Anxiety is highly prevalent among patients with heart failure (HF), negatively affecting health related quality of life (HRQOL). The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) anxiety item bank computer adaptive testing (CAT) precisely assesses anxiety symptom severity. This study aims to assess construct validity and reliability of PROMIS-Anxiety CAT among patients hospitalized for HF. Methods: A cross-sectional convenience sample of adult patients hospitalized for HF, who completed PROMIS-A CAT, generalized anxiety disorder 7 (GAD-7), and other questionnaires electronically. Convergent validity was assessed by Spearman's rank correlation between PROMIS-A CAT, GAD-7, and other legacy measures. Known group analysis compared PROMIS-A CAT and GAD-7 scores between groups expected to have different levels of anxiety. Reliability of PROMIS-A CAT was calculated on the individual and group level from standard error of measurement, according to item response theory. Area under receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve and Youden's J statistic were used to identify a Results: Of 333 participants, 87 (26%) had moderate/severe anxiety based on GAD-7 score (≥ 10). Participants completed on average (median [IQR]) 4(1) vs. 7(0) items, with PROMIS-A CAT and GAD-7, respectively. PROMIS-A CAT Conclusion: These results support the validity and reliability of PROMIS-A CAT among patients hospitalized for HF.
