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 aims to assess the validity of the Revised Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ-RR) within the Chinese population to examine the applicability of the 19-factor Theory of Individual Values in the Chinese cultural context. A sample of 9590 Chinese participants (age range: 11-60; 4360 males) completed the Chinese version of the PVQ-RR. Psychometric analyses indicated that the Chinese version of the PVQ-RR consistently measures 19 basic values and 4 higher-order values. Multidimensional scaling results showed that the circular structure of individual values among Chinese generally aligns with the Theory of Individual Values, but the positions of some values among the 19 basic individual values exhibit strong cultural characteristics. The findings also revealed that the most valued among Chinese people is security-societal, while the least valued are power-resources and power-dominance. This study reaffirms the cross-cultural consistency of the Theory of Individual Values and provides a reliable tool for assessing individual values among Chinese people.
