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

Purpose: Basic indices of reliability, validity, and feasibility of the Polish language version of the Satisfaction with Life Domains Scale (SLDS) were assessed - this is one of the self-assessment measures of the subjective quality of life. Methods: The combined database included 1,246 people from previous studies on stigma (n = 316) and recovery (n = 110), and individuals seeking psycho-social support (n = 820). Apart from SLDS, other measures of life functioning, experiences of stigma and discrimination, factors of personal recovery, and self-rated and clinician-rated psychopathology were used. Results: The SLDS results were characterized by a good item performance and high internal consistency (α = 0.92). Significant improvement in life satisfaction was noted, while maintaining some correlational stability in the re-test. Satisfaction with life did not depend on gender, education and age, but on diagnostic qualification (mental problems < somatic diseases) and methodological qualification (patients > persons seeking support). The direction and strength of the correlation of SLDS scores with a number of social, personal and clinical variables supports its theoretical validity, as does the principal components analysis indicating both the value of a one- and three-dimensional solution (satisfaction with social conditions, living conditions and interpersonal relationships). The feasibility of SLDS is also indicated by the low frequency (< 2.8%) of no responses in the surveyed population. Conclusions: The basic psychometric indicators of the Polish language version of the SLDS confirm its satisfactory reliability and validity as well as a sufficient level of feasibility for various clinical and research aims.
