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

introductionThe increasing demand for home-based radiography services has highlighted the need for reliable tools to assess patient satisfaction. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically validate a patient-reported questionnaire to evaluate satisfaction with home-based radiography in Greece.

methodsThe questionnaire was developed through a literature review and expert consensus using two Delphi rounds, with items retained based on ≥80% agreement and a content validity ratio of >0.78. A cross-sectional validation study was conducted with 78 participants. Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation, and internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha.

resultsEFA identified a two-factor model that explained 57.8% of the total variance. Cronbach's alpha values were 0.74 and 0.71 for the two factors, respectively. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure was 0.62, and Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (p < 0.01). These findings indicate acceptable construct validity and internal consistency for the proposed model.

conclusionsThe developed questionnaire demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties, supporting its use in assessing patient satisfaction with home-based radiography services. Future studies should employ confirmatory factor analysis with larger and more diverse populations, as well as cross-cultural validation, to further strengthen the instrument's applicability and generalizability.
