Global screening of health behaviors: Introducing Lev-screening (Lev-s)-development and psychometric evaluation.
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 1 paper.
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
Poor health behaviors have been identified as a critical factor for the burden on healthcare systems and individual suffering. However, comprehensive assessment of health behaviors is time-consuming and often neglected. To address this, we introduce the Lev-screening (Lev-s), a new, brief tool that covers multiple health behaviors. The Lev-s assesses ten health behaviors-physical activity, diet, alcohol use, tobacco use, illegal drug use, sleep, social relations, meaningful activities, sexual health, and screen health-using 33 items. This article details the development and psychometric evaluation of Lev-s with a sample of 2,279 participants aged 18-87. Test-retest reliability estimated as intra-class correlation coefficients for the different health behaviors ranged from .71 to .98 (n = 157), indicating moderate to excellent reliability. Lev-s showed associations with quality of life, demonstrated inter-correlations among included health behaviors, and detected group differences between individuals with and without neurodevelopmental conditions. The Lev-s exhibits satisfactory psychometric properties and holds promise as an efficient tool for screening of health behaviors.
