The Ayurvedic Anger Assessment Scale: An integrative approach for measuring anger in adults.
Article in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe prevalence of psychosomatic disorders associated with emotional instability has risen considerably in recent years. Among the different negative emotions, anger stands out as the most intense and prototypical. When excessive and poorly regulated, it serves as a significant contributing factor in the pathogenesis of various psychosomatic disorders.
objectiveThis study aims to develop and systematically validate an integrated Ayurvedic Anger Assessment Scale (AAAS) for the adult population based on Ayurvedic, Indian philosophical, and contemporary psychological concepts, and this manuscript discusses its psychometric validation. MATERIALS &
methodsAn extensive literature review and expert consultations were conducted for item generation. A panel of 10 experts evaluated content and face validity. Subsequently, pre-testing was carried out with 15 healthy individuals to assess internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Construct validity was further assessed by administering the questionnaire to a sample of 105 individuals.
resultsContent Validity Index (I-CVI) of the items ranged from 0.50 to 1.00. Given that the panel consisted of ten experts, a minimum acceptable CVI value of 0.78 was applied. Accordingly, seven items with CVI values below this threshold were excluded, and the Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI) was subsequently calculated, yielding a value of 0.91. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) across items ranged from 0.20 to 1.00. Reliability analysis demonstrated strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.944. Test-retest reliability, assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, produced values ranging from 0.70 to 1.00 (p < 0.01) across all items. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using principal component analysis extracted nine components with eigenvalues >1.
conclusionThis scale adopts an integrative approach to assessing the intensity of expressed anger, including negative consequences in the form of anger rumination. The development and validation process has been comprehensive, with significant psychometric properties inspiring future researchers to undertake similar studies.
