Psychometric evaluation of the mandarin version of the caregiver task inventory (CTI-45) for family caregivers of stroke survivors.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to translate the Caregiver Task Inventory-45 (CTI-45) into Mandarin and evaluate its psychometric properties for use among family caregivers of stroke survivors in China.
methodsThis methodological study included cognitive interviews and a psychometric evaluation of the CTI-45. Questionnaires were distributed to family caregivers at four tertiary hospitals in Tianjin, China. In addition to the eight family caregivers who participated in the cognitive interviews, 251 family caregivers of stroke survivors aged ≥ 18 years, who were biologically or legally related to the survivors, were providing unpaid home care, and were proficient in Mandarin, completed the survey. The CTI-45 was translated according to the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) translation protocol. Cognitive interviews were then conducted to evaluate the Mandarin CTI-45 using ordinal confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The suggested one- and three-factor models were both evaluated. Internal consistency reliability was assessed using ordinal alpha and ordinal omega coefficients.
resultsThe suggested three-factor model was superior compared to the one-factor model and demonstrated acceptable model fit (RMSEA = 0.042, CFI = 0.996, TLI = 0.995, SRMR = 0.072). All three scales demonstrated excellent reliability according to ordinal alpha and ordinal omega: Direct care to the patient 0.96/0.92, Intrapersonal tasks 0.97/0.94, and Interpersonal ties 0.95/0.90.
conclusionsThe Mandarin version of the CTI-45 demonstrated good psychometric properties and could be used to assess the multidimensional care needs of family caregivers caring for stroke survivors.
