Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Mentalization Scale (MentS).
Article in Turk psikiyatri dergisi = Turkish journal of psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThis study, aims to translate the Mentalization Scale (MentS) into Turkish and investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version.
methodThe participants, consisting of 615 (310 female and 305 male) Turkish speaking adults, were asked to complete the MentS and the Emotional Intelligence Feature Scale-Short Form (EIFS) and the Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI).
resultsThe factor structure of the scale was investigated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Similar with the original scale, findings demonstrated a three-factor structure, namely, 'the self,' 'others' and 'motivation'. Corrected total score correlations for each item were between 0.28 and 0.52. The MentS score showed positive correlations with the EIFS score (r=0.49; p<0.001); and negative correlations with the BPI score (r=-0.37; p<0.001). Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.84 for the total score, 0.78, 0.80, and 0.79 for MentS-S, MentS-O, and MentS-M, respectively.
conclusionThe findings show that the 25-item MentS Turkish form has sufficient psychometric properties. Our data supports the use of the Turkish version of MentS in future studies for assessment of mentalization capacity.
