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 article details the development and preliminary validation of the Social Distance toward Bisexual Persons Scale (SDBPS). This secondary data research employed an instrumental design, based on a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional study conducted with Hispanics in Puerto Rico. The scale's development involved multiple stages. The team developed a pool of 22 items with two dimensions measuring social distance towards bisexual individuals that were generated from research literature. Seven experts reviewed the initial items, leading to the validation of the 10-item SDBPS. A diverse sample of 373 participants took part in the validation. As a result, the SDBPS demonstrated good psychometric properties, revealing variations in social distance by sex and sexual orientation. Convergent and divergent validity were confirmed. The SDBPS is a valuable tool for assessing social distance towards bisexual individuals, especially within Hispanic populations, and contributes to understanding the complexity of stigma. Further research should focus on cross-validation and assessing the scale's temporal reliability.
