Revisiting the factor structure and construct validity of the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire.
Article in Psychological assessment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ; Broadbent et al., 1982) is an established and commonly used self-report measure of cognitive errors experienced in daily life, capturing perceived difficulties with forgetfulness, distractibility, and thinking blunders. Despite frequent use in clinical research and established associations with psychological and neuropsychological disorders, the psychometric properties and construct validity of the CFQ remain ambiguous. This study sought to critically assess the factor structure and external validity of the CFQ. A sample of 839 people (62% female) between 16 and 85 years of age (
