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

Background: Generic instruments recommended for disability assessment are not useful in delineating the exact contribution of psychiatric disability to total disability following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Aim: To develop and validate a tool to assess psychiatric disability due to the behavioral and cognitive impairments following TBI, named the Cognitive and Behavioral Inventory (CBI). Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India. The development of the tool was performed after a thorough literature search and discussions with experts. The face, content, and linguistic validity of the tool were established. Criterion validity was established by correlation with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Neuropsychiatry Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) for cognitive and behavioral domains, respectively. The Intraclass correlation was calculated to assess the inter-rater reliability. Results: The item-level content validity index of the tool ranged from 1 to 0.86. The scale-level content validity index, calculated using the averaging and universal agreement method, was 0.97 and 0.88, respectively. The point estimate of criterion validity assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient for the cognitive domain of the tool with MoCA was 0.87, and the behavioral domain of the tool with NPI-Q was 0.79. The intraclass correlation coefficients for the full scale, behavioral domain, and cognitive domain were all 0.99. Conclusion: CBI is a tool with high face, content, linguistic, and criterion validity, as well as good interrater reliability. It can be used to assess the behavioral and cognitive impairments following TBI, and thus psychiatric disability, in a very short time by a clinician.
