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

Objective: This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) scales among stroke survivors. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at four comprehensive hospitals in Taizhou, Jiangsu, China. A sample of 232 first-ever stroke survivors were recruited from June to August 2023. Validity was examined using face validity and construct validity, which used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and known-group analysis. Reliability was evaluated by internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: The BIS/BAS scales demonstrated satisfactory face validity. The findings of CFAs supported the original four-factor structure of BAS-reward, BAS-drive, BAS-fun seeking, and BIS with acceptable model fit indices. Discriminative validity, assessed via known-group analysis, indicated that stroke survivors with probable depression had significantly lower mean BAS-reward, BAS-drive, and BAS-fun seeking scores ( Conclusions: The Chinese version of the BIS/BAS scales could be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring behavioral activation among stroke survivors.
