Psychometric Properties of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF): A Study With Individuals With Schizophrenia Living in the Community.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 2022. 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
objectiveThe Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is widely used to measure positive mental health. This study is the first to examine the psychometric properties of the MHC-SF in persons with schizophrenia living in the community.
methodsTwo hundred thirty-one individuals with schizophrenia living in the community in South Korea filled out the MHC-SF. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), bifactor CFA, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and bifactor ESEM were undertaken to examine the factor structure of the MHC-SF.
resultsResults showed that a three-factor bifactor ESEM model yielded better fit than the other alternative models. Indices of internal consistency reliability were acceptable.
conclusionThe results suggest that bifactor ESEM is an appropriate analysis for examining the factor structure of the MHC-SF in individuals with schizophrenia. The findings support the use of the overall MHC-SF scale rather than the use of the subscales in people with schizophrenia.
