Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Body Perception Questionnaire-Short Form (BPQ-SF); The Persian version.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundBody perception is considered an important physiological marker in physical and mental disorders, therefore, its valid and reliable quantification is indeed necessary. Due to the lack of a Persian version of an instrument with validated psychometric properties for evaluating body perception, this study aimed to investigate the factorial structure, reliability, and validity of body perception questionnaire-Short Form (BPQ-SF) among Iranian adults.
methodsA total of 748 participants (mean age = 31.74; 57%female) were included in the analysis. Participants were recruited using the online survey method. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed and concurrent validity was determined by computing Pearson's correlation coefficient between BPQ_SF, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), and somatization subscale of Symptom-Checklist-90 (SOM). Internal consistency (using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega), and composite reliability were also evaluated.
resultsThe result of the CFA yielded three factors: Body Awareness, Subdiaphragmatic Reactivity, and Supradiaphragmatic Reactivity. Cronbach's alpha values for all BPQ_SF items were 0.94. Moreover, Concurrent validity between BPQ, SOM, and DASS was determined to be between 0.44 to 0.94. and had good internal consistency (McDonald's Omega range: .74-.93 Cronbach's alpha range: .76-.94).
conclusionsThe BPQ-SF demonstrated good psychometric properties among Iranians thus can be used to reliably assess body perception.
