[Living with Chronic Illness Scale: Pilot study in patients with several chronic diseases].
Observational study in Atencion primaria, 2020. 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 present the pilot study of the Living with Chronic Illness Scale (EC-PC) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoarthritis.
designObservational, cross-sectional and multicenter study. LOCATION: Two specialized hospitals in Navarre and Madrid.
participants64 patients with several chronic diseases, older than 18 years old, that go to primary health centre and/or outpatients. Patients with cognitive deterioration and/or psychiatric disorders were excluded.
interventionsEvaluations had an average duration of 15 minutes per patient. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Patients completed the EC-PC and a questionnaire related to the scale. Feasibility/acceptability, internal consistency and construct validity was analyzed.
resultsFor the total sample, the EC-PC showed a good viability and acceptability, without missing data and with almost 100% of the computable data. Cronbach's alpha coefficient reached values between 0.64 and 0.76, and the homogeneity index was higher than 0.30 in all domains of the scale. The values of internal validity ranged between 0.04 and 0.30. No significant differences were found (p> 0.05) in the total score of the scale according to gender or the different pathologies. The patients described the scale as simple and useful.
conclusionsThe pilot study of the EC-PC in patients with different chronic illnesses showed that it is a brief, easy to use, reliable and valid measure. The EC-PC will serve to know in an individualized way, how the patient is living with his/her chronic process and to prevent possible negative aspects of the daily living with the disease.
