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

Background: Teenagers are the main victims of drowning, and high-risk behavior is the main cause of drowning. However, there are no reliable and valid instruments for measuring these behaviors in China. Objective: This study aimed to provide a measurement tool for measuring the high-risk behavior of swimming among adolescents in China. The adolescent swimming risk behavior scale was developed and tested for reliability and validity. Participants and setting: This study used stratified sampling to ensure sample representativeness. Stratification variables included educational level (elementary school, secondary school) and geographical region (areas with differing levels of economic development), thereby capturing key differences in age maturity and social environment. Among schools selected based on the aforementioned stratification variables, questionnaires were administered to eligible students (aged 10-19 years old, capable of swimming continuously for over 25 m). Methods: This study assessed the internal consistency, factor structure (i.e., exploratory and validation factor analyses), and convergent and discriminant validity of the adolescent swimming risk behavior scale. Results: The findings suggest that the scale is a relatively reliable measure for assessing high-risk behavior in adolescent swimmers. Exploratory and validation factor analyses confirmed the four-factor structure, confirming the 20-item version of the scale, which obtained good internal consistency reliability. The internal consistency coefficient, Cronbach's Conclusion: The adolescent swimming risky Behavior Scale has high reliability and validity and is suitable for measuring adolescent swimming risky behavior in China.
