Visual Beauty Assessment Scale: Psychometric Validation of Italian and English Versions.
Article in The European journal of neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Since ancient times, philosophers and researchers have attempted to define beauty. In recent years, psychologists have distinguished between subjective and objective beauty, as well as between emotional and cognitive dimensions. However, a psychometrically validated tool for assessing beauty is still lacking. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate the Visual Beauty Assessment Scale (Vi-BAS). Across three experiments, 18 items were generated based on participants' definition of beauty (Experiment 1), and their validity and reliability were assessed in Italian native speakers (Experiment 2) and English native speakers (Experiment 3). Exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) was conducted in Experiment 2 to identify latent variables, which were confirmed in Experiment 3. Results identified four latent variables of beauty-subjective, objective, emotional, and cognitive-each represented in the Vi-BAS by two valid and reliable items, for a total of eight items. An average Vi-BAS score was also validated. This study introduces a comprehensive scale for assessing different dimensions of beauty, demonstrating validity and reliability both in Italian and English.
