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

Objective: This study aimed to revise the Chinese version of the Retrospective Family Unpredictability Scale (Retro-FUS-C) and evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: Two independent samples were collected through convenience sampling. Sample 1 ( Results: The revised Retro-FUS-C retained 18 items and identified a three-factor structure: parental discipline, maternal nurturance, and paternal nurturance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-factor model with good model fit, and measurement invariance across gender was supported. Internal consistency was satisfactory (Cronbach's α = 0.76--0.90; McDonald's ω = 0.85-0.95). Significant correlations with external measures supported criterion-related validity. Conclusion: The Retro-FUS-C provides a reliable and culturally appropriate tool for assessing retrospective family unpredictability among Chinese young adults, with potential utility in identifying individuals at risk for later psychological difficulties and informing prevention and intervention efforts.
