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 Family Well-Being Index (FMWB) is a broadly used instrument. However, it has not been tested for any latent structure via any factor analysis. This study aimed to check the internal structure of the FMWB by implementing 4-factor models in a Colombian sample from 3 different regions. A validity evidence study was conducted, and a sample of 524 nuclear families was obtained (59.2% Bogotá, 15.3% Santa Marta, 25.6% Cali-Palmira). The data was analyzed by organizing the answer in a univariate and multivariate matrix arrangement, using the software factor and R, the models were tested; the best fitting model was the bi-factor model (x2 =404.127, df = 228, CFI = .958, TLI= .949, RMSEA= .047, SRMR= .055). The results suggest that the bi-factor model is the best model that explains the latent structure of the FMWB, by comprehending each member's responses or perspectives as latent dimensions (fathers, mothers, children) of the FMWB More research is needed to obtain more validity evidences that could help justify correctly the scores obtained with this scale.
