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
It is well evidenced that Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) are important mental health determinants, particularly in adolescents and young adults. The short version of the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3) is widely used globally to assess EMS, and has yet to be validated in the Arabic language. The aim of the current study was to validate the Arabic version of the YSQ-S3 in Arabic-speaking young adults from Lebanon. This cross-sectional study was carried out between September and December 2020. A total of 1175 participants was recruited through convenience sampling. The data was collected through an online questionnaire containing the following sections: sociodemographic information about the participants, Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form Version 3 (YSQ-S3), the Lebanese Anxiety Scale (LAS-10), the Beirut Distress Scale (BDS-10) and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed a reasonable fit to the 5-domain structure of the questionnaire. All scores showed high McDonald's omega values (0.91-0.97). Additionally, all maladaptive domains were significantly and positively correlated with more depression, anxiety and stress, attesting for their concurrent validity. Finally, analyses supported the measurement invariance of the Arabic YSQ-S3, with no difference found between men and women in all domains. The results of the current study suggest that the YSQ-S3 is a valid instrument to assess EMS among the Arabic-speaking population. The validation of the Arabic version of the YSQ-S3 should facilitate the evaluation of EMS for clinicians in their practices.
