Life satisfaction in children: an analysis of the psychometric properties of the SWLS-C scale by Diener.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Life Scale for Children (SWLS-C) are presented (Gadermann et al., Soc Indic Res 96:229-47, 2010).
methodsA total of 1,242 children participated (48.3% boys and 51.7% girls), aged between 10 and 14 years (M = 12.19, SD = 1.54). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the factorial structure of the SWLS-C, assuming a unidimensional model using the diagonally weighted least squares (DWLS) estimation method due to the lack of normality assumption. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega, and convergent validity was assessed using the Spearman Rho coefficient between the total SWLS-C score and the Life Satisfaction evaluations from the SLSS and the Perceived Social Support scale by Zimet. The effect of age and sex variables was estimated as predictors through a multivariate regression model.
resultsThe fit and goodness indices (RMSEA =.058, CFI =.098, TLI =.096, GFI =.099).
conclusionsShow that the scale is valid and reliable for assessing life satisfaction in Colombian children and adolescents.
