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

objectiveComplex Care Programs (CCPs) provide care coordination and medical services to children with medical complexity (CMC), but no current tools measure the broad impact of these programs on caregivers and families. The Complex Care Program-Family Impact Questionnaire (CCP-FIQ) was developed to assess this impact.

methodsA list of 125 items was created based on data from a prior qualitative study. Redundant items were removed, which left 48 items. Next, caregivers of CMC participated in cognitive interviews for a subset of items. Then, the 40-item measure was administered to caregivers along with the Perceived Stress Scale and Pediatric Integrated Care Survey. Exploratory factor analysis was performed.

resultsEleven caregivers completed cognitive interviews, and 163 completed online questionnaires. Exploratory factor analysis of the CCP-FIQ revealed four factors: General Satisfaction (13 items; α = .97), Caregiver Well-Being (8 items; α = .89), Family Well-Being (5 items; α = .86), and Medical Care Empowerment (5 items; α = .86). Higher Pediatric Integrated Care Survey Family Impact scale scores correlated with higher CCP-FIQ subscale scores (ps < .001). Higher perceived stress correlated with lower scores on Caregiver Well-Being and Family Well-Being subscale scores (ps < .001).

conclusionsThe 31-item CCP-FIQ has promising psychometric properties with excellent internal consistency and assesses four domains of CCP impact on caregivers and families of CMC. Constructs assessed align with prior research validating areas of impact. Next steps include using the CCP-FIQ with additional CCPs to conduct confirmatory factor analysis.
