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

objectivesto validate an instrument for assessing social network support for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

methodsa methodological study with construction stages based on Social Network Theory. Content validity was performed by ten judges (nominal group), and semantic assessment was conducted by eight women (brainstorming). Data were analyzed using relative frequencies, Content Validity Coefficient, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, and Confidence Index.

resultsthe instrument, with five dimensions of support (emotional/esteem, informational, tangible/instrumental, companionship, and self-support), had 60 items. Most items had coefficients ≥0.80 in judges' assessment. After eliminating items and making adjustments, the instrument was left with 47 items, with a semantic assessment that reached a Confidence Index of 0.99. Adjustments were made for greater clarity, maintaining the 47 items across the five support dimensions.

conclusionsthe instrument was validated as a tool to assess social network support for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
