Adaptation and Validation of the Bullying and Cyberbullying Scale for Adolescents in Bangla.

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
introductionAdolescent bullying is a pressing global public health and educational issue, including in Bangladesh. The lack of valid, reliable assessment tools in clinical and school settings impedes the identification of victims and individuals involved in bullying and cyberbullying. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Bullying and Cyberbullying Scale for Adolescents (BCS-A) in Bangla.
methodsThis cross-sectional study followed a standard adaptation protocol to translate the BCS-A into Bangla. The study included 210 randomly selected adolescents (12-17 years) from three Bangla-medium schools in Dhaka. Participants completed the Bangla-adapted BCS-A, a sociodemographic questionnaire, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).
resultsThe mean score of the victimization subscale was 9.60 (SD: ±9.1) and the perpetration subscale was 5.15 (SD: ±6.55). The Cronbach's alpha values were 0.821 and 0.808 for the victimization and perpetration subscales, respectively, indicating robust reliability. For the majority of items, the item-total correlation was above 0.30. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a four-factor structure for each of the subscales, aligning with previous studies. Victims of bullying showed a positive correlation with internalizing problems on the SDQ, whereas perpetrators of bullying showed a positive correlation with externalizing problems, suggesting good convergent and divergent validity. A total victimization score of ≥ 5 and a total perpetration score of ≥ 4 demonstrated the ability to accurately identify victims and perpetrators, respectively, with over 80% sensitivity and specificity.
conclusionThe BCS-A Bangla has demonstrated strong reliability and validity, making it a useful tool for screening bullying and cyberbullying behaviors among adolescents.
