Psychometric Properties of the Arabic Version of the Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale (HFSPS) in an Omani Sample.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale (HFSPS) is a brief instrument designed to assess the perceived burden of common symptoms of heart failure (HF). Aim: To investigate the psychometrics of the Arabic HFSPS. Methods: This methodological study investigated the construct validity of the HFSPS among 180 Omani patients with HF through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis. Criterion validity was evaluated through correlations with the symptom frequency dimension of Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire 12-item (KCCQ-12), Control Attitudes Scale-Revised Five-Items (CAS-R 5), and Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2). Results: EFA revealed three factors with eigenvalues >1, which explained 56.1% of the variance. Out of seven competing models, a five-factor structure comprising a new factor "weight gain," which comprised correlated items "11 and 14" in other models, expressed the best fit. It was invariant across gender and marital status with adequate convergent and discriminant validity as indicated by average variance extracted >0.50, strong subscale-total correlations, and acceptable heterotrait-monotrait ratios. Criterion validity was evidenced by significant associations with KCCQ-12 symptom frequency, PHQ-2, and CAS-R 5, and HFSPS reliability was excellent (ω = .93). Conclusion: Weight gain seems a distinct dimension that deciphers error correlations previously found in the HFSPS. It may relate to patients' physical activity, nutritional habits, and metabolic dysregulations, necessitating integrating weight control measures in the routine care of patients with HF.
