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

This study examined the psychometric quality of the Scale of Aesthetics and Creativity in Chess (SACC) with the data collected from 132 expert and non-expert chess players. To analyze the validity, reliability, and item functioning within the scale, the Many-facet Rasch model was applied. The Rasch measure explained 50.59% of the variance in scores and provided evidence for the scale's unidimensionality. The reliability indices for items and participants were 0.83 and 0.93, respectively. The expertise level of chess players predicted scores on the SACC; however, Intermediate level players showed the lowest scores in comparison with Expert, Advanced, and Beginner level participants.
