Psychometric properties of the Clinical Sustainability Assessment Tool (CSAT) short form across three research centers evaluating effectiveness and implementation of a cancer symptom surveillance and management intervention.
Article in Implementation science communications, 2026. 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
objectiveThe Clinical Sustainability Assessment Tool (CSAT) is designed to capture determinants of sustainable clinical practices over time. Although the full 49-item CSAT instrument has demonstrated strong psychometric properties, the 21-item short form has had limited evaluation. This study aimed to assess the CSAT short form (CSAT Short) across different respondent characteristics and care delivery settings.
methodsWe evaluated the CSAT Short in a sample of healthcare personnel (N = 256 respondents) drawn from across three hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies in a research consortium, all of which tested routine symptom surveillance and integration of symptom management interventions in ambulatory oncology care settings in the US. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and mIRT were conducted to assess the CSAT Short's fit to the hypothesized factor structure. Multiple-group CFA was used to test for measurement invariance across groups of respondents with different professional roles, years in current role, and different work settings.
resultsThe hypothesized seven factor structure of the CSAT Short exhibited good fit to the data and strong internal consistency in our sample of healthcare personnel drawn from across three large pragmatic trials (CFI = .99,TLI = .98,X
conclusionsThe CSAT Short is recommended to assess sustainability in oncology settings, though users should be cautious when comparing scores across different healthcare systems. Tests of invariance were nonsignificant except for variance by Research Center. Despite some items exhibiting suboptimal fit in mIRT, the overall model fit and reliability were strong. This study advances our understanding of sustainability measurement and the applicability of the CSAT Short across implementation settings and respondents.
