Psychometric properties and factor structure of the satisfaction with life scale in Ecuadorian university students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) measures the global cognitive judgment about one's own life. Although it has been validated in different countries and populations, in the Ecuadorian context, it has not been validated for a university population. Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the SWLS in a large sample of Ecuadorian college students. Methods: Instrumental-psychometric study with a sample of 4,524 participants from three Ecuadorian universities, with an average age of 22 (±3.15). The SWLS was evaluated in terms of its factor structure, factorial invariance, internal consistency and correlations with other measures related to mental health. Results: The SWLS factor structure optimally fits the single-factor model ( Conclusion: The SWLS is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the personal perception of life satisfaction of Ecuadorian university students.
