Development of A Caregiver-Reported Scale for Pediatric Cancer Financial Toxicity (CRS-PCFT).
Article in Cancer medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundFinancial toxicity is common among families of pediatric patients with cancer. However, the availability of survey and/or screening instruments specific to pediatric family financial toxicity is limited.
methodsA two-round cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shandong Province, China. We combined classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) to validate items of the caregiver-reported scale for pediatric cancer financial toxicity (CRS-PCFT) after Delphi. The scale structure, reliability, and validity were determined and validated by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The threshold was discussed based on the correlations between CRS-PCFT and socio-factors.
findingsA 16-item initial scale was determined after Delphi. The data from 206 pilot survey samples was used to select and validate items, and a 10-item CRS-PCFT was developed. The scale showed satisfactory reliability and validity based on data from 398 formal survey samples. When the CRS-PCFT scores were into high and low toxicity groups by the median, they were significantly correlated with education (r = -0.284, p < 0.0001), household income (r = -0.253, p < 0.0001), work status (r = -0.173, p = 0.001), and cancer stages (r = 0.147, p = 0.003).
interpretationCRS-PCFT demonstrates robust reliability and validity and makes it more accurate to obtain the pediatric cancer financial toxicity conditions. Additional research should be done to validate CRS-PCFT.
