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
Aim: This study aims to adapt the "Osnabrück Scale for Therapy Adjustment and Identification of Psychological Complaints in Schizophrenia" (OSSTI) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. The study addresses the need for a practical self-report tool to simultaneously assess metacognitive awareness and treatment adherence in Turkish patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Data were collected from 335 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Following translation and back-translation, content validity was confirmed via expert panel. Construct validity was tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed through Cronbach's alpha and split-half coefficients. Results: EFA identified a three-factor structure-Awareness, Denial, and Adjustment-explaining 58.03% of the total variance. While initial single-factor CFA was rejected, the final model demonstrated acceptable alignment with the theoretical framework. The scale's overall internal consistency was Cronbach's α = .73, with subscale coefficients ranging from .70 to .78. Convergent validity was supported by a significant moderate correlation with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (r = -.418, p<.001). Conclusion: The OSSTI-TR is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing therapy adjustment in schizophrenia. Its strong psychometric indices and metacognitive focus provide a robust framework for clinical evaluation and research in the Turkish context.
