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

objectiveThe aim of the study was to develop the "Digital Amnesia Scale Adolescent Form-DAADF" to determine digital amnesia in adolescents aged 12-18 years and to examine its psychometric characteristics.

methodsIn the study, 625 adolescents between the ages of 12-18 who use digital devices such as smartphones/watches/tablets/computers/televisions were reached. The development process of the scale consisted of content validity, construct validity, convergent and discriminant validity, reliability studies, and validation of the obtained structure. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine construct validity, and a 27% lower-upper group comparison was conducted to determine internal validity. The linguistically and psychometrically validated scale consists of 9 items and has a 5-point Likert scale.

resultsThe developed scale consists of 2 sub-dimensions and 9 items and explains 63.1% of the total variance. Scoring of the scale is obtained by summing the scores of the sub-dimensions and a score between 0 and 36 points is obtained. The higher the score, the higher the level of digital amnesia. The Cronbach α reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.84, indicating high reliability.

conclusionThe developed "Digital Amnesia Scale Adolescent Form -DAADF" is valid in terms of scope and content and has high reliability.
