Reliability and predictive validity of the bedside upper limb functional evaluation tool (BUFET) among stroke subjects - a psychometric study.

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
The Bedside Upper Limb Functional Evaluation Tool (BUFET) is a newly developed tool that assesses upper extremity functions, including proximal and distal movements such as gestures, gripping, and independent finger movements. This study aimed to evaluate the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and predictive validity of the BUFET. Subjects ≥ 18 years of age and with a first episode of supratentorial stroke were included. The principal investigator, a physiotherapist, rated the subjects while performing the scale which was videotaped. To establish intra-rater reliability, the same rater re-scored the videos on two separate occasions, after 7 and 30 days. For inter-rater reliability, the principal investigator and 4 additional raters independently scored the patient based on the video. For predictive validity, the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) was administered on the same day as BUFET, followed by administering the scales after 30 days. Intra- and inter-rater reliability was found to be excellent (ICC-0.992, 0.985). The reliability of all the components was > 0.89. The predictive validity was demonstrated by R
