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

The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish adaptation of the Morningness/Eveningness Scale (M/E Scale-Parent Report Form) family evaluation form for preschool children. The study sample consisted of 276 parents with children aged 4-6 years. The study calculated Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient and corrected item-total correlations of the scale. It also determined the scale's distinctiveness, stability analyses, and convergent validity. The Turkish version of the M/E Scale (Parent Report Form), consisting of 10 items, is unidimensional. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.80 and the corrected item-total correlation values varied between 0.51 and 0.76. There was a positive correlation at the level of 0.75 between the applications of the scale with two-week intervals and at the level of 0.63 between the single-item chronotype scale within the scope of convergent validity and the M/E Scale (Parent Report Form). This study determined a low correlation between the child's chronotype and the father's chronotype, and a moderate correlation with the mother's chronotype. The Turkish M/E Scale (Parent Report Form) was found to be valid and reliable. This scale is a short and easy-to-use measurement tool for determining the chronotypes of 4-6-year-old children.
