Psychometric properties of the caregiving difficulty scale in mothers of children with cerebral palsy.
Article in BMC neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe Caregiving Difficulty Scale is used to measure the burden of caregiving experienced by mothers of children with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to identify the psychometric properties of the Caregiving Difficulty Scale using the Rasch model.
methodsData collected from 206 mothers of children with cerebral palsy were analyzed. Unidimensionality, difficulty of item, rating scale appropriateness, and reliability using the separation index of the Caregiving Difficulty Scale were verified. Unidimensionality of all 25 items was identified through the item fit.
resultsOur analysis of item difficulty indicated that person ability and item difficulty are expressed as a similar logit extend. The use of the 5-point rating scale appeared to be appropriate. Outcome analysis revealed that the reliability was high based on the person and that the item separation level was acceptable.
conclusionsThis study showed that the Caregiving Difficulty Scale could be a valuable tool for evaluating the caregiving burden in mothers of children with cerebral palsy.
