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

The objective of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Supportive Care Needs Survey for Partners and Caregivers (SCNS-P&C-C) among the caregivers of Chinese patients with cancer. The original English version of SCNS-P&C was translated into Chinese using a forward and backward translation approach. The psychometric properties of the SCNS-P&C-C including factor structure, convergent, and discriminative validities and internal consistency were then tested. A convenience sample of 498 caregivers of hospitalized patients with cancer was recruited from oncology units in three tertiary public hospitals in Hefei city, mainland China. Exploratory factor analysis revealed four domains of the SCNS-P&C-C, which resemble the original English version scale. The convergent validity of the SCNS-P&C-C has established with statistically significant correlations between the SCNS-P&C-C and the Chinese version of Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (r = 0.327, P < 0.01). The SCNS-P&C-C has also good internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.79 to 0.89 for the four subscales and 0.94 for the total scale. The Chinese version of the SCNS-P&C was found to be reliable and valid to assess the supportive care needs for partners and caregivers of Chinese patients with cancer. The SCNS-P&C-C can be used to assess and understand the supportive care needs of Chinese caregivers of patients with cancer. Such information will help the healthcare professionals to formulate tailored supportive care services for the caregivers of Chinese patients with cancer.
