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: This study aims to assess the reliability and validity of the Quality of Life Scale (QOLS-6) among bank employees in Guangxi, grounding the investigation in the theoretical framework of quality of life measurement and psychological well-being. Given the increasing importance of mental health in the workplace, understanding how psychological conditions impact life quality is critical. The QOLS-6, a widely used tool for measuring quality of life, has been shown to have potential for application in diverse populations. Methods: A cluster sampling method was used in the study. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 3,974 employees of a bank in Guangxi Province of China. To evaluate its performance across different mental health conditions, 298 participants in the suicidal ideation group and 3,676 in the non-suicidal ideation group. The non-suicidal group was randomly divided into two subsamples, with subsample A ( Results: The QOLS-6 demonstrated good internal consistency, with Cronbach's Conclusion: The QOLS-6 has demonstrated strong reliability and validity among bank employees in Guangxi, China. While exploratory factor analysis suggested a one-factor structure, confirmatory factor analysis supported a three-factor model, indicating a multidimensional nature. Based on the theoretical framework of quality of life and the design of the scale's content, the three-factor model demonstrates statistical and theoretical validity. Additionally, the scale exhibited significant correlations with key psychological factors, further supporting its applicability. These findings suggest that the QOLS-6 is an effective tool for assessing quality of life in diverse psychological contexts.
