Translation and Factor Analysis of the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illnesses 8-Item Version Among Iranian Women With Breast Cancer.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCancer stigma is rarely addressed among Iranian population and patients. The current study aimed at translating and examining the construct validity of the stigma scale for chronic illnesses 8-item (SSCI-8) among Iranian women with breast cancer.
methodsIn the current study, a total of 223 patients aged 19-75 years were recruited from three cancer centers in Tehran, Iran, from 2014 to 2015. Forward-backward translation method was used. The item-total correlation was evaluated. Exploratory factor analysis employing maximum likelihood method and direct Oblimin rotation was conducted. Reliability was assessed using composite reliability (CR). Average variance explained (AVE) was used for convergent/divergent validity.
resultsThe items mean was 1.47 (0.19), the scale mean 11.75 (5.57); the inter-item correlations were positive and significant (P <0.0001). A two-factor solution with seven eligible items (five for enacted and two for internalized stigma) showed the model fitness. The CR for the total scale, as well as enacted and internalized facets was 0.78, 0.89, and 0.79, respectively; the AVE was 0.66 for each latent variable.
conclusionThe Persian version of SSCI-7 was found as a reliable and valid abbreviated instrument to assess experiences of enacted and internalized stigma among Iranian women with breast cancer.<br />.
