Caring perception questionnaire of the home-dwelling elderly: development and validation study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 care requirements of the elderly who live at home should receive enough attention as the world's population ages. On the basis of this, a questionnaire on the elderly who live at home must be created and validated.
objectiveThe objective is to create and validate a tool that will allow caregivers to more accurately measure how well-cared-for elderly people perceive them to be at home.
methodsThis study developed a caring perception questionnaire through literature review and interviews in Wuhan. Fifteen experts from six provinces reviewed the initial 43-item draft. When faulty questionnaires were eliminated, the valid sample size for the exploratory factor analysis of the first survey was 238. For confirmatory factor analysis, the second survey's valid sample size was 260. The final version included 31 items, validated for reliability and validity.
resultsA 52-item questionnaire was created based on interviews, refined to 43 items after expert feedback, with a content validity index of 0.88. The first survey (238 valid responses) showed a Cronbach's α of 0.945, and the second (260 valid responses) confirmed good model fit and consistency. The final version has 31 items.
conclusionsWith good reliability and validity, the caring perception questionnaire of the home-dwelling elderly was developed, which could be used as a tool to evaluate the current situation of humanistic care for the home-dwelling elderly.
