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

objectiveTo translate, cross-culturally adapt, and examine the psychometric properties of the Vietnamese version of the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS-V) in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

designA cross-sectional study.

settingTwo hospitals and two Catholic convents in Vietnam.

participants174 Vietnamese individuals aged ≥ 45 years with KOA were diagnosed based on clinical examination using the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) criteria.

main outcome measuresParticipants completed the baseline assessment and 5-7days retest, which included the LEFS-V, Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Psychometric property testing included content validity (CVI), internal consistency (Cronbach's α), test-retest reliability (ICC

resultsStrong content validity with item-CVI from 0.83 to 1.00. LEFS-V demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.942) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC

conclusionThe LEFS-V is a reliable and valid scale for assessing lower extremity functional status in Vietnamese individuals with KOA.
