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

introductionCancer patients may suffer negative consequences; however, they also report positive aspects of psychological adjustment, such as posttraumatic growth. One of the most widely used instruments for measuring this is the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI).

objectivesCross-cultural adaptation and Mexican validation of the PTGI-X in the palliative oncology population.

methodsA prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 phases: the first involved translation and cross-cultural adaptation (expert judgment/piloting), and the second involved validation of the scale. In the latter, the sample comprised 236 advanced-stage oncology patients, and the following analyses were performed: 1) items under the classical test theory, 2) discrimination and internal consistency indices, 3) confirmatory factor analysis, and 4) convergent and divergent validity.

resultsDiscrimination coefficients (pBis) ranging from 0.32 to 0.72 were obtained from the translated and adapted version. Cronbach's alpha was 0.94. The 5-factor theoretical model was assumed; the confirmatory factor analysis yielded a scaled χ SIGNIFICANCE OF

resultsThe PTGI-X-Mx showed satisfactory psychometric properties in patients with advanced oncological disease receiving palliative care.
