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.

Abstract

Purpose: To systematically investigate the factorial and criterion validity of the Chinese version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) among undergraduate students. Methods: Altogether 1415 undergraduates completed the RSES, the Short Form of Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the factorial structure, gender invariance, and latent mean invariance of RSES. An independent Results: Results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed that the correlated trait-correlated method model, which includes both global self-esteem and two positive and negative factors, fits the data best (optimum model). The results of the Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analyses demonstrated that this factor structure achieved measurement invariance and latent mean equivalence across genders among university students. Independent sample Conclusion: The Chinese version of the RSES exhibits robust factorial and excellent criterion validity, making it a suitable tool for assessing self-esteem among undergraduate students to promote mental and physical well-being.
