Assessment of content validity for a Neonatal Near miss Scale in the context of Ethiopia.
Review in Global health action, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe concept of neonatal near miss is used to identify neonates who nearly died but survived a life-threatening complication in the first 28 days of life. Neonatal mortality is the tip of the iceberg. Quality improvement through utilization of a validated scale and reduction in adverse neonatal outcome is a priority for achieving sustainable development goals.
objectivesTo develop and assess the content validity of neonatal near-miss scale in the public health hospitals in Amhara Regional State, northwest Ethiopia.
methodsA literature review was performed prior to the development of the neonatal near-miss assessment scale. An expert panel committee was formed by health facility practitioners and by the members of the academia. Two rounds of meetings were conducted with the expert panel to reach consensus on the face and content validity. The content validity index, Kappa statistics, and the content validity ratio were computed to estimate the content validity scale of neonatal near miss.
resultsIn this study, four domains (pragmatic, clinical, management, and lab-investigations) with 32 items were identified. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.7 to 1. The overall scale content validity (S-CVI) (average) for the domains (pragmatic, clinical, management, and lab-investigations) were 0.98, 0.95, 0.96, and 0.96, respectively. The overall S-CVI (universal) was 0.78 to 1, whereas the overall S-CVI (average) of neonatal near miss assessment scale was found to be 0.96. The content validity ratio and Kappa statistics values ranged from 0.6 to 1 and 0.9 to 1 for the respective domains.
conclusionThe identified four domains and the respective items were valid enough (content-wise) to be used as identification criteria for neonatal near-miss cases. The scale will contribute to neonatal near-miss identification and also improve the quality of neonatal management care.
