Sense of community index scale: Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Chinese version - a cross-sectional study.
Article in Medicine, 2026. 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
This study translates and adapts the English version of the sense of community index (SCI) into Chinese and evaluates its reliability and validity. The Chinese version of the SCI was created through translation and revision. A convenience sampling method was used to select 351 elderly community residents, who completed the reliability and validity assessment of the scale. The Chinese version of the SCI includes 16 items. Principal component analysis with orthogonal rotation extracted 4 factors, accounting for a cumulative variance of 66.619%. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the chi-square/degree of freedom ratio (CMIN/DF) was 1.644, the goodness-of-fit index was 0.902, the comparative fit index was 0.941, the incremental fit index was 0.942, the Tucker-Lewis index was 0.926, the root mean square error of approximation was 0.060, and the root mean residual was 0.040. Standardized regression coefficients ranged from 0.542 to 0.798. The composite reliability for each dimension ranged from 0.726 to 0.825, while the average variance extracted ranged from 0.401 to 0.541. The Cronbach α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.854, with a Guttman split-half reliability of 0.811. The Cronbach α coefficients for individual dimensions ranged from 0.767 to 0.852. The revised Community Awareness Index Scale exhibits strong reliability and validity, making it a reliable instrument for assessing and researching community awareness among elderly individuals in community settings.
