Patient-reported experience measures for person-centred care: a survey for the development and psychometric testing of a targeted measure, the EPCC-14.

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
objectivesThis study aims to develop a robust, targeted measure of patient experiences of person-centred care (PCC), informed by the lived experiences of patients with chronic illness using the psychometric theory of Rasch measurement.
designThe Rasch measurement model was used to analyse the psychometric functioning of 57 candidate items and select appropriate items for a targeted measure.
settingParticipants were recruited from Prolific.com, having experience of both chronic or long-term illness and first-hand experience of primary or secondary care in the UK healthcare setting and completed a survey containing PCC items and descriptors of healthcare experience.
participantsData from 501 adult persons (49.5% men and 49.7% women) with different types of long-term conditions recruited from the prolific web panel.
resultsFor an initial analysis of all 57 candidate items, there were several indicators of misfit, such as signs of local dependence and multidimensionality. The response options worked as intended according to threshold ordering. After removal of misfitting items and refinement for the best spread of locations, a 14-item solution showed good fit to the Rasch model in this UK sample.
conclusionsThe results support a unidimensional measurement of patients' experiences of PCC, once the local dependency was accommodated. The present work thus offers a 14-item measure of PCC experience. The present work also contains a robust item bank for the further development of dynamic computerised adaptive testing.
