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

Background: Leprosy persists as a social and health issue in India, requiring validated tools to evaluate perspectives on stigma, knowledge, and needs. This study developed and validated a questionnaire with domains: sociodemographics, living conditions, health status and practices, knowledge about leprosy, and felt needs and priorities. Methods: Cross-sectional validation with 138 participants from Antulay Nagar, Pune, January-June 2024. Content validity via expert panel (I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave). Construct validity using EFA (KMO = 0.82, Bartlett's χ² = 1265.4, Results: I-CVI 0.75-1.00, S-CVI/Ave 0.90; three items revised. Five factors emerged with loadings >0.60. Cronbach's alpha 0.79-0.88. Conclusion: The questionnaire is valid and reliable for assessing social perspectives in leprosy settings.
