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 European Moral Case Deliberation Outcomes Instrument (Euro-MCD 2.0) is a widely used instrument for evaluating moral case deliberation (MCD); however, its psychometric properties have not been fully validated in Japan. Our goal is to assess the validity, reliability, and score patterns of the Japanese version of the Euro-MCD 2.0 among healthcare providers in six national hospitals. A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted at six national centers for advanced and specialized medicine in Japan. Construct validity was assessed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent and discriminant validity were examined using composite reliability and average variance extracted. Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. The sample included 359 doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers involved in clinical practice. Participants who were not in an employment relationship (
