Cross-Cultural adaptation and validation of adolescent menstrual bleeding questionnaire in a Turkish sample.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundTo evaluate the psychometric properties and cross-cultural validity of the Turkish version of the adolescent Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire (aMBQ) through comprehensive reliability and validity analyses.
methodsWe conducted a two-phase methodological study involving translation/cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation using standardized guidelines. The validation phase included 181 adolescents aged 12-18 years. Tools included the Turkish aMBQ and Menstrual Practice Needs Scale (MPNS). Reliability was assessed through internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), test-retest reliability (n = 30, two-week interval), and item analysis. For validity assessment, the sample was randomly split into two subsets for exploratory (n = 91) and confirmatory (n = 90) factor analyses, with convergent validity testing and known-groups comparison.
resultsFactor analysis revealed a three-dimensional structure explaining 68.4% of total variance: Bleeding Severity, Daily Activities Impact, and Social/School Impact (factor loadings: 0.685-0.845). The instrument demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.892) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.876, 95% CI: 0.841-0.912). Confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit (CFI = 0.942, RMSEA = 0.048). The aMBQ correlated significantly with MPNS scores (r = 0.684, p < 0.001) and effectively discriminated between severity groups across all components (Cohen's d = 1.85-2.12). Content validity indices met acceptance criteria (I-CVI ≥ 0.78, S-CVI ≥ 0.90).
conclusionThe Turkish aMBQ demonstrates robust psychometric properties and structural validity, supporting its use in clinical and research settings. The three-factor structure provides comprehensive assessment of menstrual bleeding impact among Turkish adolescents, enabling standardized evaluation of menstrual health in Turkish healthcare settings.
