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

Objective: This study aimed to translate the Moss Attention Rating Scale (MARS) into Korean and to validate the psychometric properties of the Korean version (K-MARS) in inpatients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI). Methods: A prospective, single-center study was conducted, recruiting 51 patients with traumatic brain injury between 2023 and 2024. The K-MARS was translated using a standardized cross-cultural adaptation method. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were also evaluated. Additional assessments of cognitive function, sleep quality, and mood were conducted to examine the convergent validity. Results: The K-MARS demonstrated strong internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity. Cronbach's alpha for the total score was 0.870, and intra-class correlation coefficients for test-retest reliability exceeded 0.90 for both the total score and all subscales. Significant correlations were observed between the K-MARS total score and overall cognitive performance, as well as with several attention-related measures, including the Trail Making Test and Digit Span Test. Conclusion: The K-MARS is a psychometrically reliable and valid tool for assessing attention-related behaviors in Korean inpatients with msTBI. By capturing behaviorally observable attention deficits, the K-MARS helps identify individual attentional problems and guides the development of tailored cognitive rehabilitation plans.
