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.

Abstract

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the 13-item Emotional Consequences of Elder Abuse Scale (ECEAS) among elderly individuals in Türkiye. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis methodological study was conducted in three phases: (1) adaptation of the scale to the Turkish language with a back-translation process, (2) content validity assessment by a panel of experts, and (3) psychometric evaluations including factor analysis, validity coefficient calculation, and item-total correlation analysis. The sample consisted of 145 elderly individuals aged between 64 and 88, recruited from the Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center Physical Therapy Clinic. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews conducted between September and December 2023. To ensure randomization, a lottery method was applied, selecting individuals whose citizenship numbers ended in odd digits. Inclusion criteria were individuals aged 65 or older, who were caregivers, and mentally competent. Data were gathered using a demographic information form and the Emotional Consequences of Elder Abuse Scale. The demographic form contained 14 items, while the ECEAS, which consists of 1 dimension and 13 items, was utilized to assess the emotional impacts of elder abuse.

resultsAlthough the Emotional Consequences of Elder Abuse Scale had 6 factors in its original form, it was decided to have one single sub-dimension in the Turkish version. All fit index values of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis were found to be acceptable (x

conclusionThe results showed that the scale is a valid and reliable tool to be used to determine the emotional consequences of elder abuse in Turkish elderly individuals.
