Psychometric Properties of the Toileting Behaviour Evaluation (TBE) Using Rasch Analysis.

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
This study assessed the psychometric properties of the Toileting Behaviour Evaluation (TBE), a tool designed to address the limitations of traditional assessments like the Functional Independence Measure and Barthel Index in capturing the complexities of toileting activities among wheelchair users. Conducted with 250 wheelchair users from six rehabilitation hospitals in Japan, the study used Rasch analysis to evaluate the TBE's internal validity, reliability, and unidimensionality across 22 toileting components. The analysis confirmed the TBE's fit to the Rasch model, with a raw variance explained by measures of 70.1%, a person separation index of 3.82 (reliability coefficient=0.94), and an item separation index of 5.94 (reliability coefficient=0.97), supporting its use as a valid and reliable tool. Additionally, a conversion table was developed to transform ordinal scores into interval measures, enhancing clinical applicability. The study suggests that the TBE is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing toileting behavior in wheelchair users. However, further research is recommended to explore its effectiveness in clinical interventions and its applicability across different populations and diagnoses.
