Translation and psychometric evaluation of the Witness Perceived Safety Scale of prehospital emergency care.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTimely, effective and safety out-of hospital care and transfer to hospital by prehospital emergency medical services significantly impacts patient outcomes. This study aimed at translation and psychometric evaluation of the witness perceived safety scale of prehospital emergency care.
methodsThe methodological design was utilized to verify the validity and reliability of the Witness Perceived Safety Scale across two phases: the translation process and an assessment of its validity and reliability. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis. The convergent validity, discriminant validity, and reliability of the scale were also evaluated.
resultsThe Witness Perceived Safety Scale comprises 10 items that were retained following cross-cultural translation. Both face and content validity were deemed acceptable. The fit indices from the confirmatory factor analysis supported the model's appropriate fit (χ²/df = 2.41; IFI = 0.96; CFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.075). Cronbach's α coefficient for the total scale was 0.899.
conclusionThe Persian version of the Witness Perceived Safety Scale provides a reliable assessment of witnesses' perceptions of safety during emergency assistance and transfers. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
