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

The Seity Check-In (SCI) is a new, multidimensional measure of momentary well-being that features both hedonic and eudaimonic elements. It imposes minimal cognitive demands on respondents, asking them to report their current levels of energy, direction, belonging, and joy by selecting one of five "happy face" emojis for each dimension. This task can be completed in just a few seconds. The psychometric model underlying the SCI is formative, with each of the four dimensions contributing directly to well-being. A preregistered data analysis of 564 individuals who were living in the United States and completed the SCI and other instruments found high correlations (r = .84 to.86) with two established measures of well-being, providing strong evidence for criterion validity. Furthermore, responses for each SCI dimension were highly correlated (r = .80 to.85) with items adapted from other scales designed to assess the same dimension, providing strong evidence for construct validity. Analyses of open-ended mood descriptions corroborated the psychometric findings. We conclude that the SCI offers considerable utility for assessing well-being, especially in applied situations.
