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

aim'It was aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the "Mothers' Breastfeeding Empowerment Scale"'.

methodContent validity was evaluated with the content validity index (CVI) agreed upon by experts. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used for construct validity. Before factor analysis, the sample size was decided using KMO and Bartlett's Sphericity test. For the reliability study of the scale, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and total score correlation coefficients of parallel forms were examined.

resultsWhile 49.9% of the infants were between 4-6 months old, the average age of the infants was determined as 3.64 ± 1.77. 70.6% of the mothers were between the ages of 26-43 and the average age of the mothers was 28.83 ± 5.38. In the factor analysis it was found that item loadings of the scale was between 0.57 and 0.95. Also, the fit values of the scale were within acceptable limits. Additionally, it was determined that there was a high-level positive relationship between the scale used for the parallel form and our scale.

conclusionThe use of the scale in Turkish society is valid and reliable. Validity and reliability analyses support this.
