Development of the quality of life of family caregivers of advanced cancer patients scale in Japan: Psychometric properties.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: We aimed to develop a new scale for use in Japan, called the "Quality of Life of Family Caregivers of Advanced Cancer Patients Scale (QFCS)" and to examine its psychometric properties. Methods: A draft scale was extracted based on qualitative inductive and deductive analyses, and its content validity and surface validity were investigated. Its psychometric properties were examined. Results: The QFCS consists of 30 items comprising four factors. Cronbach's α was 0.92 and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.90. Correlation coefficients between the total QFCS score and eight subscale scores of the revised Medical Outcomes Study 12-Item Short Form Survey Instrument were Conclusions: Our results suggest that the QFCS exhibited acceptable psychometric properties in measuring the quality of life of family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and quality of family support using the QFCS.
