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

Background: Schizophrenia is a debilitating psychiatric disorder in which non-adherence to medication leads to symptom relapse, rehospitalization, reduced quality of life, and increased treatment costs; therefore, an appropriate tool is needed to assess the attitudes of patients with schizophrenia towards medication. Methods: Three hundred patients with schizophrenia enrolled at the specialized neuropsychiatric clinic at Shafa Hospital in Rasht 2023 participated in this cross-sectional study. The patients filled out the Drug Attitude Inventory-30 (DAI-30) and a demographic questionnaire. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to evaluate content validity. Face validity was assessed using qualitative content validity, and the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were computed for quantitative content validity. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the normal distribution of the questionnaire scores. Reliability was assessed using test-retest procedures and Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and model fit were performed using Smart PLS version 8.8. A Findings: In this study, 211 participants (70.33%) were male and the mean±standard deviation (SD) of age was 40.32±10.87 years. All items of the Persian version of DAI-30 showed a CVR greater than 0.62 and CVI greater than 0.80, confirming their content validity. Construct validity showed sufficient internal correlations for conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Cronbach's alpha for reliability was 0.983. The test-retest correlation coefficient was high ( Conclusion: The findings of this study recommend that the Persian version of the DAI-30 is a relevant and reliable measure for evaluating drug attitudes in patients with schizophrenia.
