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

The objectives of the present study were to develop and validate the Public Law-Abiding Tendency Scale (PLATS) and to examine its association with some health-related behaviors. Several steps were taken including item suggestion and discussion by an expert panel, sequential item reduction to maximize internal consistency using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A sample comprised 1108 community-dwelling participants. Internal consistency and construct validity of the PLATS were examined. The 10-item scale showed good psychometric properties. There was a significantly moderate association between PLATS scores and COVID-19 preventive behaviors (
