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

purposeCaregivers of service members/veterans (SMVs) encounter a number of barriers when navigating the military health care system. The purpose of this study was to develop a new measure to assess potential caregiver frustration with the systems of care and benefits in the United States Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

methodThe TBI-CareQOL Military Health Care Frustration measure was developed using data from 317 caregivers of SMVs with TBI who completed an item pool comprised of 64 questions pertaining to anger or frustration with accessing military health care services.

resultsExploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the retention of 58 items. Constrained graded response model (GRM) overall fit and item fit analyses and differential item functioning investigations of age and education factors supported the retention of 43 items in the final measure. Expert review and GRM item calibration products were used to inform the selection of two 6-item static short forms (TBI-CareQOL Military Health Care Frustration-Self; TBI-CareQOL Military Health Care Frustration-Person with TBI) and to program the TBI-CareQOL Military Health Care Frustration computer adaptive test (CAT). Preliminary data supported the reliability (i.e., internal consistency and test-retest reliability) as well as the validity (i.e., convergent, discriminant, and known-groups) of the new measure.

conclusionsThe new TBI-CareQOL Military Health Care Frustration measure can be used to examine caregiver perceptions of and experience with the military health care system, to target improvements. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
