Adaptation and validation of the Christian Sanctification of Suffering Scale (CSSS) in a Polish Catholic chronic pain sample.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. 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
backgroundThe Christian Sanctification of Suffering Scale (CSSS) measures the extent to which individuals interpret suffering as spiritually meaningful within a Christian framework. This study aimed to adapt and psychometrically validate the CSSS in Polish.
methodsThe study involved a community sample of Polish adults living with chronic pain lasting longer than six months, all identifying as Catholic. Participants completed a 30-minute online survey including the CSSS along with validated measures of religious commitment, spiritual well-being, mental health, and forgiveness. Three months later, a subsample completed the CSSS again to assess temporal stability. The CSSS was translated into Polish and evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), item response theory (IRT), reliability analysis, and measurement invariance across sex.
resultsThe CSSS demonstrated a unidimensional structure, confirmed by CFA (χ
conclusionsThe Polish version of the CSSS is a psychometrically robust instrument for assessing the sanctification of suffering. It offers a novel instrument for assessing spiritual coping, with potential implications for designing spiritually sensitive clinical interventions.
