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
objectiveWith the rise in popularity of the theory of mind (ToM), defined as the ability to understand that others’ beliefs, desires, and intentions may differ from one’s own, numerous tools have been developed since the 1990s. However, the use of disparate tasks to measure the same construct, the lack of a standardized task battery, and the inadequate validity/reliability of existing TOM measures have contributed to inconsistent research findings. This study developed the HACETTEPE-Computer Based Theory of Mind Battery (HACETTEPE CBToM), which utilizes three-dimensional colored animations, focuses on social interactions, and integrates cognitive/ affective dimensions. Comprehensive validity and reliability studies were conducted.
methodThe validity and reliability studies of the battery, which consists of eight scenarios (four second-order false belief tasks: two cognitive/ two affective, and four irony tasks: two cognitive/two affective), were carried out with 214 healthy adults aged 18-36.
resultsConstruct validity was evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis, and the fit indices indicated an excellent model fit [χ2(19, N=214) =26.14, p>0.05, χ2/df=1.38, RMSEA=0.042, SRMR=0.05, GFI=0.97, AGFI=0.95, CFI=0.98, TLI(NNFI)=0.97]. For criterion validity, a positive and significant correlation was found between the scores of the HACETTEPE-CBToM Battery and the Dokuz Eylül Theory of Mind Scale (r=0.32, p<0.05). The inter-rater reliability and internal consistency coefficients were r=0.94 and r=0.72, respectively.
conclusionThe HACETTEPE-CBToM Battery is a culturally appropriate, ecologically valid, and psychometrically robust tool for detailed assessment of ToM.
