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
Aim: To assess the validity and reliability of the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory (CC-SC-CII) among caregivers of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Design: A cross-sectional psychometric study. Methods: This study is part of the multicenter longitudinal study project conducted in nine IBD centers. Factorial validity was evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and construct validity was examined through correlation with caregiver self-efficacy. Internal consistency was assessed with omega coefficients and composite reliability. Test-retest reliability between baseline and 6 months was estimated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Results: A total of 275 informal caregivers of patients with IBD completed the CC-SC-CII. CFA supported the original three-scale structure of the CC-SC-CII (maintenance, monitoring, management), with acceptable model fit after minor item-level adjustments. Internal consistency ranged from 0.71 to 0.94 across subscales. ICCs ranged from 0.749 to 0.896, indicating good to excellent test-retest reliability. All item-total correlations exceeded 0.30. Positive correlations with caregiver self-efficacy scores supported construct validity. Conclusion: The CC-SC-CII is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing caregiver contribution to self-care in the IBD population.
