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

AIM(S): The aim was to validate the stoma self-efficacy scale and assess the psychometric properties of the Czech version of the scale in patients with intestinal stoma. Another aim was to assess self-efficacy in patients with intestinal stoma.

designDescriptive, cross-sectional and validation study.

methodsTwo hundred and ninety patients with intestinal stoma participated in the study during 2023. The original SSES instrument was linguistically validated into Czech. Content validity of the scale, test-retest, intraclass coefficient, Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's ω, construct and convergent validity were assessed for psychometric properties. The study followed STROBE guidelines.

resultsThe stoma self-efficacy scale was adopted into Czech, demonstrating excellent content validity. An intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated to establish test-retest reliability, showing excellent reliability of the Czech version. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's ω showed high reliability. Factor analysis was applied for construct validity. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract three factors on the Czech version of the scale: Stoma care self-efficacy, social self-efficacy and burden self-efficacy. The factors accounted for 62.05% of the total variance and showed strong internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied separately to the data of respondents with colostomy and respondents with ileostomy. The fit indices were satisfactory for respondents with colostomy after adjustment. The composite reliability coefficient showed acceptable values in each factor.

conclusionThe Czech version of the stoma self-efficacy scale has excellent psychometric properties in patients with intestinal stoma. It is a reliable tool for use in patients with intestinal stoma to assess self-efficacy. The scale can also be used by nurses who care for these patients and based on this, meet the individual needs related to patients' self-efficacy.
