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

Latent variable modeling (LVM) is a powerful tool for validating tools and measurements in the social sciences. One of the main challenges in this method is the evaluation of model fit that is traditionally assessed using omnibus inferential statistical criteria, descriptive fit indices, and residual statistics, all of which are, to some extent, affected by sample sizes and model complexity. In the present study, an R function was created to assess fit indices after employing non-parametric bootstrapping. Furthermore, the newly proposed corrected goodness-of-fit index (CGFI) is presented as a means to overcome the abovementioned limitations. Using the data from Progress in International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2021, the analysis of instructional leadership and the construct of bullying results revealed differential decision-making when using the present function compared to relying solely on sample estimates. It is suggested that the CGFIboot function may provide useful information toward improving our evaluative criteria in LVMs.
