Translation and validation of the Schizophrenia Caregiver Questionnaire - Japanese version (J-SCQ).

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
The Schizophrenia Caregiver Questionnaire (SCQ) was developed to evaluate the state of family members caring for schizophrenics. Our study aimed to construct a Japanese version of the SCQ (J-SCQ) based on its English version and verify its reliability and validity. We conducted forward and backwards translations and cognitive debriefing to draw up the J-SCQ. A total of 1229 survey sheets were mailed, together with the Japanese versions of the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form version 2 (SF-12v2) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-26) questionnaires. A total of 305 survey sheets (valid response rate: 68.2%) were analyzed. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of various supra-domains and subdomains of the J-SCQ were over 0.71, establishing its internal consistency. Pearson's correlation coefficients between the various domains of the SF-12v2 and WHOQOL-26 was used to establish concurrent validity. The results show that the J-SCQ may be a useful Japanese questionnaire that can compare Japanese caregivers to those across different countries and measure the effects of support and intervention provided to caregivers.
