Development of a measurement of doctor-patient communication quality scale.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: The number of medical disputes in China has been increasing, highlighting the urgent need to improve doctor-patient relationships. Objective: To improve doctor-patient relationships and enhance communication, a scale for measuring doctor-patient communication quality (DPCQ) was developed. Methods: Based on existing relevant foreign scales, questionnaire items were designed to collect patients' perceptions of doctor-patient communication quality. Outpatients from a selected hospital were chosen as the study population, and 300 questionnaires were randomly sampled. SPSS 26 was used for preliminary item screening through dispersion trend analysis, Results: The EFA identified two factors: Factor 1 (Interactive Communication and Emotional Support) and Factor 2 (Health Education and Behavioral Guidance), with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 63.81%. The results of the CFA indicated an acceptable model fit: χ Conclusion: The scale for measuring doctor-patient communication quality demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it a suitable measurement tool for research on doctor-patient communication.
