Translation, cultural adaptation, and descriptive psychometric pilot evaluation of the Swedish Cancer Support Source-caregiver.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to translate the CancerSupportSource-Caregiver (CSS-C), culturally adapt it, and conduct a descriptive pilot evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Swedish version in a sample of Swedish family members of persons diagnosed with cancer.
methodTranslation and cultural adaptation involved forward-backward translation by professional translators in collaboration with the research team and assessments of comprehensibility and face and content validity by two expert panels comprising family members of persons diagnosed with cancer and healthcare professionals, respectively. The psychometric properties, validity, and reliability of the Swedish version were pilot evaluated using classical test theory among a sample of 30 adult Swedish family members of persons diagnosed with cancer.
resultsBased on requests from the expert panels, and supported by empiricism, the CancerSupportSource-Caregiver was adapted to the Swedish context, and five items were added. Thus, the Swedish version comprises 24 items. The face and content validity of the Swedish CancerSupportSource-Caregiver were satisfactory, and the convergent validity was promising. Moreover, the psychometric pilot evaluations indicated high data quality, overall satisfactory targeting, and internal consistency. However, two items were right-skewed, and there were indices of redundancy.
conclusionThe Swedish CancerSupportSource-Caregiver appears to have the potential to identify unmet needs and symptoms of anxiety and depression among Swedish family members of persons diagnosed with cancer. Since the focus of this study was on translating and adapting the tool, further studies in larger samples are warranted to determine the psychometric properties, factor structure, validity, and reliability.
