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

This study aimed to confirm the psychometric validity of the French version of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS-F), as well as to evaluate its psychometric properties for the first time using item response theory, more precisely the partial credit model (PCM). It also aimed to evaluate item invariance by exploring possible differential item functioning (DIF). The 3708 participants were recruited during a cross-sectional observational study among university students in the French region of Lorraine. The results of the classical test theory method demonstrated an overall good fit of the scale to the data, with SB-χ2 = 80.84, df = 9, χ
