1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 adapt the Chronic Illness Adjustment Scale into Turkish and to evaluate its validity and reliability in assessing how individuals with chronic illnesses adjust to their condition.

methodsThis methodological study was conducted between July 2024 and July 2025, involving 518 chronic patients who visited the internal medicine outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Chronic Illness Adjustment Scale (CIAS).

resultsAccording to confirmatory factor analysis, the factor loadings of the scale ranged from 0.300 to 0.850, and a five-dimensional structure was confirmed. The scale’s fit indices were x² = 495.17, df = 140 (p < 0.05), x²/df = 3.53, RMSEA = 0.070, CFI = 0.94, SRMR = 0.057, TLI = 0.92, RMR = 0.044, and AIC = 652.03”. The overall Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.80, and for the sub-dimensions, it ranged between 0.67 and 0.80. The validity and reliability of CIAS were proven without any changes to its original form.

conclusionThis study determined that the adapted CIAS consists of five subscales and 19 items, is compatible with Turkish culture, and is a valid and reliable scale.
