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

Introduction: The escalating severity of gambling issues in China highlights the need for culturally adapted assessment tools. The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for Pathological Gambling (PG-YBOCS) is recognized for its ability to assess both the severity and compulsive features of gambling disorder. Methods: Given its emphasis on the compulsive features of gambling disorder, this study aimed to validate the Chinese version (PG-YBOCS-C) in clinical assessment. The 10-item PG-YBOCS-C was developed through translation and expert review. A total of 116 individuals with gambling disorder were recruited. Results: Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient (0.958) and test-retest reliability (0.722). The content validity index was 0.912, with item-level indices ranging from 0.778 to 1.000. Bartlett's test of sphericity yielded X2 = 1123.86, P<0.001, and the KMO measure was 0.93. Exploratory factor analysis identified a single principal component accounting for 72.8% of the variance. Discussion: The reliability and validity of PG-YBOCS-C have been demonstrated, establishing it as a dependable tool for evaluating the severity of gambling symptoms in Chinese individuals.
