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

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the content validity of the Chinese-language version of the PRAP scale from comprehensive perspectives within the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) framework. Methods: We evaluated the content validity of the Chinese PRAP scale using COSMIN methodology in a convergent parallel mixed-methods design (August 2022-November 2023) at a tertiary children's hospital in Shanghai, with 57 content validity raters including nurses, social workers, and family caregivers. Quantitative (I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave) and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews were integrated. Results: The scale showed strong overall content validity based on the quantitative ratings (S-CVI/Ave = 0.92). Item 5 ("Parent/caregiver stress") showed the lowest relevance rating (I-CVI = 0.79). Qualitative feedback identified ambiguous phrasing in Items 4 and 5 and inconsistent interpretation of professional terminology. Conclusion: Despite uncertainties in comprehensibility identified by qualitative insights, the findings provide evidence supporting the content validity of the Chinese PRAP scale, while acknowledging that further psychometric evaluation is required.
