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.

Abstract

Introduction: The ability to adapt is a core aspect of daily human life. Recent models and theories emphasize its essential role for health and well-being. It concerns the perceived ability to readjust and actively deal with the psychosocial consequences of challenging events. While many questionnaires measure competences related to adaptability to specific conditions, a scale that measures a generic sense of the ability to adapt is lacking. The aim of the present study is to introduce the Generic Sense of Ability to Adapt Scale (GSAAS) and to examine its psychometric properties. Methods: The article describes two sub-studies. In the first study the items of the GSAAS were generated and field-tested in a cross-sectional non-clinical sample using item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and Rasch analysis. Results: This resulted in a 10-item questionnaire measuring a single dimension with good reliability (Cronbach's Discussion: In conclusion, the GSAAS appears to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess people's generic sense of the ability to adapt. It is a practical and quick tool that can be used to measure a vital aspect of health in research and clinical treatment settings.
