Quality of Care in Inflammatory Bowel Disease through Patients' Eyes: Validation of the Portuguese Version of IQCARO-QoC Questionnaire.
Article in GE Portuguese journal of gastroenterology. 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
Introduction: Patients' perspectives on quality of care are increasingly recognized as a critical dimension of healthcare quality yet remain insufficiently assessed. The IQCARO-QoC is a questionnaire designed to capture perceptions of care of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, as well as to identify areas for improvement. The primary aim of this study was to translate and validate the Portuguese version of the IQCARO-QoC, while also exploring factors associated with higher patient-perceived quality of care. Methods: This was an observational, single-center, cross-sectional study. Following translation into Portuguese, the IQCARO-QoC was administered to IBD patients in the outpatient setting. Patients also completed a visual analog scale (VAS) for perceived quality of care, as well as the Portuguese versions of both the QUOTE-IBD and the Short IBD Questionnaire (SIBDQ). Thirty patients were invited to complete the questionnaire twice, with a minimum interval of 1 month. IQCARO-QoC reliability, validity, and responsiveness were assessed. Validity was assessed through correlations between IQCARO-QoC and both QUOTE-IBD and VAS, while reliability was examined through internal consistency, test-retest reproducibility, and intraclass correlation. Results: One hundred and fourteen patients with IBD (72 with Crohn's disease and 42 with ulcerative colitis) completed the questionnaire at baseline. The median PT-IQCARO-QoC score was 10 (9-10). The instrument demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.705) and intraclass correlation coefficient (0.759). PT-IQCARO-QoC scores correlated positively and significantly with PT-QUOTE-IBD ( Conclusion: The Portuguese version of the IQCARO-QoC is a simple, valid, and reliable instrument for capturing IBD patients' perspectives of quality of care. Higher perceived quality of care was associated with self-reported remission and better quality of life. Key areas for improvement were identified, particularly access to the IBD team during flares.
