Reliability and Validity of the Function-Focused Care Checklist for Caregivers.
Article in Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Function-Focused Care Checklist for Caregivers using Rasch analysis.
designThis was a descriptive study using data from the study "Testing the Dissemination and Implementation of Function-Focused Care for Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle." The study was approved by a university institutional review board.
methodsA Rasch analysis was completed, which included 691 staff-resident observations from 85 assisted living facilities.
findingsThere was evidence of internal consistency (alpha coefficient of .93), construct validity except for a high OUTFIT statistic for wheelchair mobility, and hypothesis testing based on an increase in performance of function-focused care by caregivers over 12 months.
conclusionsThe findings provided psychometric support for the measure and guidance for revisions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This measure can be used clinically to teach caregivers to provide function-focused care to residents in assisted living.
