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

backgroundThis study validated the Italian version of the In-Person Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (IP-TICS).

methods468 healthy Italian individuals (176 males; age: 57.5 ± 15.4, education: 13.2 ± 3.7) completed the TICS, IP-TICS, MMSE and MoCA. Correlational analyses explored the construct validity of the IP-TICS against the TICS, MMSE and MoCA. Hierarchical Confirmatory Factor Analyses tested the configural, metric and scalar invariance between the TICS and IP-TICS. Statistical equivalence was assessed via a two one-sided test (TOST) procedure. Equating norms were derived via log-linear smoothing equipercentile equating (LSEE) analyses, with TOST procedures assessing equivalence between empirical and LSEE-derived scores.

resultsThe IP-TICS converged with the TICS, MMSE and MoCA, showing configural and metric invariance and equivalence with the TICS. Empirical and LSEE-derived scores were statistically equivalent. DISCUSSION: Findings support the convergence, equivalence and invariance between the TICS and the IP-TICS. The IP-TICS converges with established in-person screeners.
