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

Objective: The current study aimed to validate the Chinese version of Contrast Avoidance Questionnaires (CAQs), developed based on the Contrast Avoidance Model. Method: In Study 1, we translated the CAQs into Chinese and modified them after back-translation. We then used two separate Chinese samples ( Results: The original 3 and 2-factor structures for CAQ-Worry and CAQ-General Emotion, respectively, were replicated with acceptable reliability. Compared to the original version, both subscales had acceptable convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity for GAD symptomatology. Conclusion: Validation of the CAQs in Chinese allows for future studies of cultural differences in avoiding emotional contrasts and their relationship with mental health problems.
