Cultural Adaptation and Assessment of the Psychometric Properties of the Greek Version of the Perceived Quality of Patient-Centered Care Among Cancer Survivors.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundNo specific scale exists to assess the perceived quality of patient-centered care in Greek cancer survivors.
aimThe purpose of this study was the cultural adaptation of the Quality of Patient-Centered Care (QPCC) scale and the assessment of the psychometric characteristics of the QPCC scale among Greek cancer survivors. SAMPLE AND
methodsA total of 400 cancer survivors with solid tumors were being treated at one hospital located in Athens, the capital of Greece, and participated in the validation study. The English version of QPCC was used after permission which had been obtained from the original developers. Participants completed the 48-item scale of QPCC as well as questions about sociodemographic characteristics and clinical characteristics. The validity of the scale's structure was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis, a method that identifies key dimensions measured by the tool, and the internal consistency of scale and sub-scales was estimated using Cronbach's α. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) = .791 and Bartlett test = 10093.336, df = 1035, p<0.01) with principal component extraction and varimax rotation revealed 10 factors with little cross-loading. Cronbach's α for internal consistency of the whole scale was 0.946, which proved satisfactory. The lowest value of Cronbach's coefficient was observed in the "equitable care" factor whilst the highest value was observed in the "timely care" factor. Finally, 45 items were identified. The results indicated six changes in the total of the English version such as the deletion of three items, the change of the positive wording of one item, and the transfer of two items in different factors due to better interpretation.
conclusionsThe Greek version of the QPCC scale is reliable and suitable for use among Greek patients with solid cancers.
