Adaptation and validation of the Van Rie tuberculosis stigma scale in healthcare workers in Indonesia.
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 1 paper.
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
Objectives: Stigma related to tuberculosis (TB) is not limited to society and the workplace but also extends to healthcare settings. Stigma can result in delayed diagnoses, poor medication adherence, and a reduced quality of life. Currently, there is no instrument available to assess TB stigma among healthcare workers. This study aimed to adapt and validate a tuberculosis stigma scale specifically for health workers in Indonesia. Methods: This study used Results: Isolation and exclusion from medical facilities are the two categories of questions that have been identified. The results of the CFA demonstrated that the calculated chi-square value for our model was chi-square/DF = 186.713/43 = 4.3 (>3). The model was reasonably fit based on the following findings: the determining root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.105 (>0.08), normed fit index (NFI) = 0.837 (<0.90), tucker-lewis index (TLI) = 0.832 (<0.95), and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.080 (<0.10). The instrument was reliable with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.829. Conclusion: This validated, consistent, and reliable adapted tool is ready to use in larger-scale evaluation of TB-related stigma among health workers in healthcare settings to develop strategies to eliminate TB-related stigma.
