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

backgroundExercise addiction (EA) is manifested by loss of control over exercising and experiencing numerous negative consequences. One of the most commonly used psychometric instruments to assess the risk of exercise addiction is the six-item Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI). The present study translated and validated the EAI into Polish and evaluated its psychometric properties. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: The study included 858 adult participants (54% female) aged between 18 and 69 years (

resultsThe CFA confirmed the one-factor model with good fit statistics (comparative fit index and Tucker-Lewis index > .95, root-mean square error of approximation < .08). The EAI was invariant between men and women. Convergent validity was adequate. The scale's internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α = .91, McDonald's ω = .91, and composite reliability = .91).

conclusionsThe present study successfully validated the EAI among Polish adults. The results provide robust evidence concerning the scale's reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity, enabling further research on exercise addiction in Poland.
