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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdapting to a nursing home has a significant effect on facilitating the transition to a nursing home. However, a tailored nursing home adjustment scale for Turkish nursing home residents is not yet available. The purpose of this study was to translate the nursing home adjustment scale from English to Turkish and assess its reliability and validity in a sample of nursing home residents in Turkey.

methodsA total of 202 older adults from four nursing homes were included in this study. The reliability of the Turkish nursing home adjustment scale was tested using Cronbach's alpha values for internal consistency. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the factor structure, whereas correlation analysis was conducted for convergent validity.

resultsThe Turkish version displayed satisfying internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88) and perfect convergent validity for life satisfaction (r = 0.482). The Turkish scale included five factors: difficulty fitting in, acceptance of new residence, emotional distress, depressed mood, and relationship development.

conclusionThe findings indicate that the Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the level of nursing home adjustment among older adults in Turkey.
