Menstruation myths scale: A scale development study.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to develop a scale of menstruation myths.
methodsThe current research was conducted using a methodologic approach with a sample of 330 women who met the inclusion criteria. The scope, structural validity, and internal consistency of the scale were tested.
resultsAs a result of the analyses, it was determined that the scale consisted of 18 items and three factors that explain approximately 57% of the total variance. The Cronbach α value of the scale was 0.86 in the first factor, 0.82 in the second factor, 0.83 in the third factor, and 0.91 in total.
conclusionThe Menstruation Myths Scale was found to be a valid and reliable measuring tool for reproductive-aged women in Turkish society. It is recommended that the scale be tested with women of different ages, populations, and countries. Additionally, it is believed that the scale can be used to determine myths about menstruation among men.
