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: Drug addiction is a global social and health issue, with children being the most vulnerable group. This study aimed to validate the Addiction Potential Questionnaire for Iranian children aged 12 to 18 years using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 on 600 students from Shiraz, Iran, using multi-stage sampling (stratified-cluster-simple random sampling). The Addiction Potential Questionnaire used in this study was originally developed by the research team to assess addiction potential among Iranian children. Construct validity was assessed through CFA, along with convergent and discriminant validity, and SEM. The reliability of the tool was calculated using Cronbach's alpha, intra-class correlation coefficient, and composite reliability. Results: Results from CFA indicated a χ Conclusion: The results indicated that the tool possesses good validity and reliability, making it a credible instrument for assessing addiction potential in Iranian children and for developing preventive programs.
