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

purposeTo translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Korean version of the Haemophilia Activities List (HAL) in adult patients with hemophilia.

methodsThis cross-sectional validation study included adult patients with hemophilia A and B. The HAL was translated into Korean using a standardized forward-backward translation process according to international guidelines. The participants completed the Korean HAL, the EuroQol Five-Dimension Five-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and the Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) questionnaire. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and construct validity was assessed using Spearman's correlation analysis.

resultsA total of 87 adult patients completed the questionnaire. The mean age was 37 years (range, 18-62 years), and most participants had severe hemophilia. The Korean HAL demonstrated high internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.97 for the total score and domain-specific values ranging from 0.78 to 0.95. The test-retest reliability was excellent, with an overall ICC of 0.95. Construct validity was supported by strong correlations between the HAL and EQ-5D-5L overall scores (r = 0.78, p < 0.01) and strong correlations with RAPID3 physical function scores (r = -0.82, p < 0.01).

conclusionsThe Korean version of the HAL demonstrated excellent reliability and good construct validity in adult patients with hemophilia. These findings support the use of the Korean HAL as a reliable and culturally appropriate patient-reported outcome measure to assess functional limitations in clinical practice and research.
