Investigation of the psychometric properties of the Turkish version Multidimensional Weight Locus of Control Scale (T-MWLCS) in individuals with different body mass index.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe Multidimensional Weight Locus of Control Scale (MWLCS) measures a individuals' focus on body weight or their beliefs about a lack of locus of control. PURPOSE: This study was carried out to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish culture-adapted version of the Multidimensional Weight Locus of Control Scale in adults, which was originally developed by Cebolla et al.
methodsThe sample of the study consists of 700 individuals between the ages of 19-64 who voluntarily agree to participate in online survey. Validity and reliability analyses were performed for the Turkish version Multidimensional Weight Locus of Control Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to evaluate the factor structure of the Turkish version Multidimensional Weight Locus of Control Scale. In addition, reliability analyses and Pearson correlations were also examined.
resultsIndividuals were divided into two groups as those with normal (18.50-24.99 kg/m
conclusionsFindings from this study revealed that Turkish version Multidimensional Weight Locus of Control Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be applied in Turkish culture. It is thought that this scale will contribute to studies that will evaluate the focus of individuals in different body mass index groups related to weight control. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, descriptive study.
