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.
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
BackgroundThe World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) is a widely used instrument for assessing functioning and disability across various health conditions. However, there is limited research on its validation in the context of potentially life-threatening maternal conditions.ObjectiveTo validate the Tigrigna version of WHODAS 2.0 in women with potentially life-threatening maternal conditions during the immediate postpartum period.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in hospitals in Tigray, Ethiopia. The Tigrigna version of the WHODAS 2.0 was administered to 121 women with potentially life-threatening maternal conditions. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, convergent validity was preliminarily assessed using Spearman's correlation, and construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis.ResultThe 36-item Tigrigna version showed adequate internal consistency for all domain scores, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.89 to 0.96 and a summary score Cronbach's alpha of 0.98. Except for Domains 1 and 2, convergent validity between the 36-item and 12-item versions was demonstrated by strong correlations between similar constructs, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.86 to 0.96. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a poor or suboptimal fit for the six-domain model, with a root mean square error of approximation of 0.13, a comparative fit index of 0.84, and a Tucker-Lewis index of 0.82.ConclusionThis preliminary validation suggests that the Tigrigna version of WHODAS 2.0 demonstrates acceptable reliability and validity for assessing disability in women with a history of potentially life-threatening maternal conditions.
