Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Flexible or Rigid Control of Eating Scale in women.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Background: Eating control is a central construct in eating disorder research; however, existing measures often insufficiently capture its multidimensional nature and rarely distinguish rigid and flexible regulatory styles. The Flexible or Rigid Control of Eating Scale (FORCES) was developed to address this limitation; however, no culturally adapted instrument assessing rigid and flexible eating control has previously been validated in Turkish populations. Methods: This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically evaluate the FORCES in a non-clinical sample of Turkish women. Two independent cross-sectional online samples were included. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA; Results: EFA supported the original five-factor structure, explaining 62.85% of the variance, with factor loadings ranging from 0.589 to 0.921. CFA confirmed this structure and demonstrated good model fit (χ Conclusion: The Turkish version of the FORCES is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing flexible and rigid eating control in women. By distinguishing maladaptive rigid control from adaptive flexible regulation, the scale provides a multidimensional framework for investigating eating regulation and may support future cross-cultural and behavioral research in Turkish populations.
