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
Introduction: The present study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish versions of the Brief Hopelessness Scale with positive and negative valence, Brief-H-Pos and Brief-H-Neg, in adolescents who presented to child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinics. Method: The study sample consisted of 248 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who presented to child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinics in two urban centers: Adana and Istanbul. To assess concurrent validity, Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the relationships among the Brief-H-Pos, Brief-H-Neg, Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, the Spearman-Brown coefficient, and item-total correlations. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were conducted to determine the diagnostic utility of the Brief-H-Pos and Brief-H-Neg in identifying adolescents with suicidal ideation. Results: Both the Brief-H-Pos (r = 0.674) and Brief-H-Neg (r = 0.703) demonstrated strong correlations with BDI scores. Additionally, the Brief-H-Pos (r = 0.745) and Brief-H-Neg (r = 0.753) were highly correlated with the BHS, supporting convergent validity. The internal consistency of the Brief-H-Pos was acceptable, with both Cronbach's alpha and the Spearman-Brown coefficient equal to 0.826. Cronbach's alpha for the Brief-H-Neg was 0.816, and the Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.778. The area under the curve (AUC) for the Brief-H-Pos and Brief-H-Neg was 0.745 and 0.780, indicating good discriminative capacity. DeLong's test showed that there was no significant difference between the AUC values of the Brief-H-Pos, Brief-H-Neg, and BHS, suggesting comparable discriminative ability. Conclusion: Both Brief-H-Pos and Brief-H-Neg are valid and reliable instruments for assessing hopelessness in Turkish adolescents. These results also suggest that both brief instruments demonstrate comparable diagnostic capability to the BHS in identifying suicidal ideation, despite their reduced length.
