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

The study aimed to translate the PUKAT 2.0 tool from English to Italian. This was an adaptation and validation study; the validity of the Italian version was determined through content validity, item validity and construct validity. The reliability of the instrument was assessed by conducting a test-retest analysis on a sample of 62 nurses. The I-CVI indices were above the threshold of 0.78 for 91% of the questions, and according to the S-CVI index, 96% of the evaluators agreed that the questionnaire was highly relevant. The overall values for item difficulty were good, with two items being too difficult and none being too easy. The item discriminant index was overall good and reasonable, low for four items. The overall ICC was poor to moderate with a value of 0.48 (95% CI 0.26-0.65). The instrument has proven to be a good starting point although not yet completely reliable, as it clearly requires more basic preparation on the part of the staff, further modifications regarding the reliability and clarity of the questions and more training of the nursing staff if it is to be used in the Italian context.
