Methodological Proposal for the Adaptation of the Living with Long-Term Conditions Scale to the Family Caregiver.
Article in Nursing reports (Pavia, Italy), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
(1) Background: Living with long-term conditions affects both patients and family caregivers. To obtain a more complete overview of this phenomenon, a measurement instrument is needed that includes both perspectives. The aim is to adapt a scale to family caregivers of individuals with long-term conditions. (2) Methods: A methodological proposal is presented that illustrates the adaptation of the EC-PC scale to the family caregiver. Three phases are proposed: adaptation of the items, panel of experts, and pre-test. (3) Results: In the adaptation phase, the items from the original EC-PC were modified to adapt them to the family caregiver, and new items were added associated with the differences in living with LTC from the perspective of family caregivers. In the panel of experts phase, a universal agreement was reached related to the clarity, relevance, and essentiality of the items included. In the pre-test phase, the content of the scale was verified quantitatively and qualitatively. (4) Conclusions: The content of the items of version 5 of the EC-PC-Family showed a high index of inter-judge agreement. When a phenomenon affects both patients and their environment, such as living with LTC, it is necessary to include both perspectives in the measurement tools.
