The Cognitive Flexibility Scale for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Turkish Adaptation and Validation Study.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe primary aim of this study was to adapt the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties, specifically its structural validity and internal consistency.
methodsThe study initially involved a sample of 303 parents of students diagnosed with ASD. After data screening for outliers, the final analyses were conducted on a sample of 298 participants. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to evaluate the factor structure of the Turkish version of the CFS. Internal consistency was assessed to determine the scale's reliability.
resultsThe initial CFA, which tested the original scale's factor structure, demonstrated a poor model fit and unacceptable reliability. Several items had factor loadings below the 0.30 threshold. Following the removal of one subscale based on item loadings and model fit indices, a subsequent analysis of a revised 4-factor, 22-item structure yielded satisfactory fit indices and high internal consistency.
conclusionThe findings suggest that the adapted 4-factor, 22-item Turkish version of the CFS demonstrates satisfactory structural validity and high internal consistency, making it a valid and reliable instrument for assessing cognitive flexibility (CF) in individuals with ASD as reported by their parents in a Turkish context.
