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

Background: Although the prevalence of transgender individuals has increased, there is currently no scale that aligns with Iranian culture to assess transphobia. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Genderism and Transphobia Scale (GTS), and its cross-cultural adaptation in an Iranian setting. Methods: This psychometric study involved 418 students in Tabriz, northwestern Iran. Forward-backward translation was conducted to develop a Persian version of the scale. Reliability was assessed using test-retest, Cronbach's alpha, and the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) test. Face, content, and construct validity were also evaluated. Results: The Cronbach's alpha was 0.91 for transphobia/genderism (T/G), 0.83 for gender-bashing (GB) and 0.91 for the total GTS. The results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed that the two factors, T/G and GB, collectively explained 47.05% of the total variance. The ICCs for different factors of the Persian-GTS including T/G, GB, and GTS total were r=0.79 (Confidence interval [CI] 95%; 0.86 - 0.90), r=0.65 (CI 95%; 0.71 - 0.80), and r=0.98 (CI 95%; 0.68 - 0.79), respectively. An EFA identified two factors defining 47.05% of all the variance. Items number 8 and 31 were removed from the Persian version of GTS. Conclusion: The Persian-GTS was identified to be valid and reliable for evaluating students' attitudes toward transgender individuals. Consequently, the Persian-GTS can be utilized in research concerning health issues related to transgender individuals.
