Development of an interprofessional collaboration competency scale for children with medical complexity.
Article in BMJ open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo develop and validate an interprofessional collaboration competency scale for children with medical complexity (ICC-CMC). These children have the most complex healthcare needs, complicated chronic conditions, severe functional limitations and often need a considerable amount of healthcare resources.
designCross-sectional study.
settingThe self-administered ICC-CMC questionnaire was developed based on a literature review and 12 expert interviews.
participantsParticipants were 2347 interprofessionals from the health, medical, welfare and education fields in seven prefectures in Japan.
main outcome measuresWe used Cronbach's alpha values to assess the internal consistency of the scale. Construct validity was confirmed with confirmatory factor analysis, and an existing scale was administered to assess criterion-related validity.
resultsIn total, 378 professionals provided valid responses. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified 12 items on three factors: 'sharing needs assessment skills', 'resource development skills' and 'creative networking skills'. The final model showed good fit on four indices (eg, goodness of fit index: 0.925). The Cronbach's alpha for the entire scale was 0.93 and was above 0.80 for each factor. The correlation coefficient between the existing scale and the ICC-CMC was 0.72 (p<0.001).
conclusionsThe ICC-CMC demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and validity. The scale has potential use in advancing professionals' individual practice and team performance in interprofessional collaboration. In addition, the ICC-CMC has the potential of improving satisfaction and outcomes for children with medical complexity and their families.
