The Development of a New Computer Adaptive Test to Evaluate Feelings of Being Trapped in Caregivers of Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury: TBI-CareQOL Feeling Trapped Item Bank.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 a new patient-reported outcome measure that captures feelings of being trapped that are commonly experienced by caregivers of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
designCross-sectional.
settingThree TBI Model Systems rehabilitation hospitals, an academic medical center, and a military medical treatment facility.
participantsCaregivers (N=560) of civilians with TBI (n=344) and caregivers of service members/veterans with TBI (n=216).
interventionsNot applicable. OUTCOME MEASURES: Traumatic Brain Injury Caregiver Quality of Life (TBI-CareQOL) Feeling Trapped item bank.
resultsFrom an initial item pool of 28 items, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the retention of 16 items. After graded response model (GRM) and differential item functioning analyses were conducted, 15 items were retained in the final measure. GRM calibration data, along with clinical expert input, were used to choose a 6-item, static short form (SF), and the calibration data were used for programming of the TBI-CareQOL Feeling Trapped computer adaptive test (CAT). CAT simulation analyses produced an r=0.99 correlation between CAT scores and the full item bank. Three-week short-form test-retest reliability was very good (r=0.84).
conclusionsThe new TBI-CareQOL Feeling Trapped item bank was developed to provide a sensitive and efficient examination of the effect that feelings of being trapped, due to the caregiver role, have on health-related quality of life for caregivers of individuals with TBI. Both the CAT and corresponding 6-item SF demonstrate excellent psychometric properties. Future work is needed to establish the responsiveness of this measure to clinical interventions for these caregivers.
