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

Objective: To describe the scientific output on instruments adapted to Indigenous languages in Peru. Methods: A narrative review was conducted based on a search in Scopus, SciELO, PubMed, and LILACS using search terms related to psychometric properties, Peru, and Indigenous languages, refining the search by title, abstract, and keywords. The search was conducted in January 2025, yielding 9 studies in Scopus, 4 in SciELO, 28 in PubMed, and 10 in LILACS. After removing duplicates and excluding studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria, a final sample of *n* = 6 studies was obtained. Results: The instruments adapted to certain Quechua varieties assessed depression, anxiety, general mental health, overall well-being, and life satisfaction. Five out of six studies were conducted with bilingual adult populations. A smaller number of items corresponded to smaller sample sizes (e.g., * Conclusion: Few studies were found on the adaptation of psychometric instruments to certain Quechua varieties. The instruments addressed the assessment of depression, anxiety, general well-being, life satisfaction, and overall mental health. University authorities in Peru could foster psychometric research initiatives within Indigenous communities.
