Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The review reports that general surgery and CVT procedure-specific tools showed similarly stronger content validity and weaker response-process and consequences evidence, whereas orthopaedic tools had stronger evidence in relation to other variables. → Li Yibo 2024

q2 · i? · review · r3
Narrative comparison in the discussion, attributing the pattern to the authors' companion scoping reviews of general surgery and cardiovascular and thoracic surgery tools (23 and eight tools identified). The review states "general surgery and CVT tools had similarly stronger evidence of content validity".
"Regarding validity evidence, general surgery and CVT tools had similarly stronger evidence of content validity and weaker evidence of response process and consequence, whereas orthopaedic surgery had stronger evidence in relation to other variables."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Only 24 procedure-specific assessment tools exist across orthopaedic surgery, covering only trauma, sports medicine, spine, and upper extremity subspecialties — related
- Validity evidence for procedure-specific orthopaedic surgery assessment tools is low, with total scores ranging from 1 to 9 of a maximum of 15 — a broader claim this one bears on
- Across the five validity domains, tools scored highest on content and very poorly on consequences, with 15 of 24 tools scoring 0 in the consequences domain — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Most identified assessment tools demonstrate construct or concurrent validity, but predictive validity is absent across tool categories — related
