Measuring emotional suppression in caregivers of adults with traumatic brain injury.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveCaregivers of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often feel pressure to maintain the appearance that they are emotionally well adjusted, despite feelings to the contrary. Because there are currently no measures examining this construct, this article focuses on the development of a new measure that is specific to caregivers of people with TBI.
designA total of 533 caregivers of civilians with TBI (
resultsExploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the retention of 25 items. Graded response model (GRM) analyses and differential item functioning (DIF) studies supported the retention of 21 items in the final measure. Expert review and GRM calibration data were used to develop a 6-item static short form (SF) and program a computer adaptive test (CAT). Internal consistency was excellent for both the CAT and SF (reliabilities ≥ 0.91); 3-week test-retest stability was good (all intraclass correlations ≥ 0.89). Convergent validity was supported by moderate associations between TBI-CareQOL Emotional Suppression and related measures (
conclusionsThe new TBI-CareQOL Emotional Suppression CAT and 6-item short form is the first self-report measure of this construct in this population. Our findings suggest this new measure has strong psychometric properties. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
