Rasch analysis and application research of the Chinese version of the Skidmore anxiety stigma scale: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Stigma is a prevalent sociocultural phenomenon that substantially negatively affects individuals with anxiety disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Skidmore Anxiety Stigma Scale (SASS) using Rasch analysis and to employ this instrument in assessing stigma among Chinese adults diagnosed with anxiety disorders. The Rasch analysis incorporated multiple psychometric evaluations. Additionally, multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors independently associated with stigma. Rasch analysis demonstrated that the 6-item Chinese version of the SASS showed good measurement properties. It demonstrated unidimensionality, with well-fitting items and logically ordered response categories. Differential item functioning analysis revealed cross-gender measurement invariance. The results showed that family history of mental illness (β=-0.277, P < 0.001), objective support (β=-0.357, P < 0.001), and subjective support (β = 0.330, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with stigma. In summary, the psychometric evaluation results of the Chinese SASS met standard criteria, supporting its use as a valid tool for assessing anxiety stigma.
