Translation and Validation of English Version of Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) Among Preschool Children.

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
The Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) is a parent-report tool designed to assess screen media dependency in preschool children which was originally developed in Malay within the Malaysian community. This study aimed to translate and validate the English version of the Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) to enable broader participation, particularly in urban areas where English is widely used. Phase 1 involved forward and backward translation by 2 language experts. An addiction specialist reviewed the back-translated version against the original followed by Face Validity by 14 parents. Phase 2 consisted of a cross-sectional study involving 195 parents of children aged 4 to 6 years. Construct validity was tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). CFA showed all items had factor loadings of 0.50 or higher. Model fit indices (RMSEA = 0.08; CFI = 0.92) indicated a good fit. The English SDS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .89). Thus, the English version is a valid and reliable tool for assessing screen dependency in Malaysian preschoolers.
