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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSuccessful implementation and sustainability of person-centred care (PCC) require continuous evaluations and valid measurements. While several instruments measure patients' experience with PCC, to our knowledge, no validated instrument exists in Swedish for use in home-based primary care (HBPC). This study aimed to adapt and further develop an instrument for measuring patients' experiences of person-centred care in HBPC for use in the Swedish municipal health care system, with a 12-item version of the Person-Centred Community Care Inventory (PERCCI) used as a starting point. Furthermore, its content and measurement properties were evaluated via a mixed-methods approach involving item response theory and qualitative content analyses.

methodsThis study was conducted in two stages. First, the PERCCI 12 item version was translated into Swedish using a forward-backward approach. Content validity was evaluated through focus groups with 24 registered nurses and managers, resulting in revisions. Second, the revised version (PERCCI-S) was psychometrically evaluated via two rounds of postal questionnaires (2022; 2023) with patients 18 years or older receiving municipal HBPC in Sweden (n = 1,171; n = 1,429). The psychometric evaluation involved factor analyses and item response theory analyses to assess dimensionality, item difficulty and discrimination, item and test information, test‒retest reliability, internal consistency reliability, as well correlational analyses of convergent and discriminant validity. Content validity was further assessed through a panel review with experts (n = 7) and cognitive interviews with patients (n = 20).

resultsExploratory and confirmative factor analyses support an overall unidimensional structure. The item response theory analyses indicate acceptable item characteristic curves and overall test information. The internal consistency reliability was satisfactory (r

conclusionsThe psychometric evidence of the PERCCI-S provides support for its use in the Swedish municipal HBPC. Future studies should test different response formats in an effort to reduce ceiling effects.
