Development and psychometric evaluation of the hospitalized patients' expectations for treatment scale-patient version-satisfaction scale.

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 develop and initially assess the reliability and psychometric properties of the Hospitalized Patients' Expectations for Treatment Scale - Patient Version - Satisfaction Scale (HOPE-PS), a structured assessment tool that measures patient satisfaction based on expectations.
methodsMedical experts and patients were consulted, and their opinions were gathered and consolidated using the Delphi method. A total of 1,000 inpatients from various wards of a general hospital in China were recruited for the study. Exploratory graph analysis (EGA) was implemented to identify the dimensionality of measurement scale. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of three competing models (i.e., unidimensional model, two-factor model, and bifactor model) was conducted to determine the final structure of the scale.
resultsEGA revealed a two-factor structure (satisfactions with treatment experience-related expectations and treatment outcome-related expectations), while the bifactor model showed the best fit indices among three competing models in CFA. The full scale showed good internal consistency with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.88.
conclusionThe HOPE-PS scale has demonstrated promising internal consistency and reliability in this study, a more comprehensive validation process is warranted.
