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: This study translated the English version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-Short Form (PTGI-SF) into Chinese and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the PTGI-SF. Methods: This study was divided into two phases. Phase I translated the English version of the PTGI-SF into Chinese and evaluated its content and face validity. In Phase II, the study participants were administered the Chinese versions of the PTGI-SF, the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS) as comparators to assess convergent validity, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) as a comparator to evaluate discriminant validity. The factor structure of the Chinese version of the PTGI-SF was examined using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while the reliability of the Chinese version of the PTGI-SF was determined by measuring internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: A total of 514 cancer patients with mixed cancer types completed the study. The Chinese version of the PTGI-SF exhibited good content and face validity. The internal consistency of the Chinese version of the PTGI-SF was good, with a Cronbach's α of 0.890 and a McDonald's omega of 0.884, while the test-retest reliability was also acceptable, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.785 ( Conclusion: The Chinese version of the PTGI-SF had good psychometric properties and is ready for use in the Chinese-speaking cancer population.
