1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a scale for measuring the care competency of family caregivers in home palliative care (CCSHPC). Methods: The initial version was established based on the model for caregiver skill building/effectiveness, literature review, qualitative research, expert consultations, and quantitative research. The measurement properties included content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, and construct validity. The survey included 381 family caregivers who had previously or were currently receiving home palliative care services in Shanghai. Results: The final scale comprised 29 items across 6 dimensions: care knowledge, daily care skills, special care skills, caregiving qualities, self-care practices, and the acquisition of social supports and resources. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 75.406%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit ( Conclusions: The scale is reliable and valid, and it can be applied to measure the care competency of family caregivers in home palliative care, providing a reference for medical professionals to develop targeted intervention strategies. However, the applicability of the scale among family caregivers in different cultural and social contexts, as well as the validation of other measurement properties of the scale, requires further research.
