Translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric validation of the Simplified Chinese Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ-CN) in Chinese athletes.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo translate, adapt, and validate the Simplified Chinese Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ-CN) for both adolescent and adult athletes.
designCross-sectional psychometric evaluation.
methodsA total of 480 Chinese athletes (19.9 ± 4.4 years) and 408 non-athletes (23.3 ± 3.9 years, for discriminant validity evaluation) were recruited. Psychometric testing included internal consistency, test-retest reliability, content validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent and discriminant validity. For robust factor analysis of ordinal data, parallel analysis with polychoric correlations and ordinary least squares estimations were choose.
resultsThe ASBQ-CN demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's αtotal of 0.76) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.78). The standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change were 3.13 and 8.67, respectively. Content validity achieving indices of 1.0 at toth item- and scale-level. Factor analyses supported a four-factor structure with acceptable model fit indices (comparative fit index = 0.95, Tucker Lewis index = 0.94, root mean square error of approximation = 0.06, and standardized root mean square residual = 0.09). Convergent validity was confirmed by moderate correlations with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (rtotal = 0.44) and Sleep Hygiene Index (rtotal = 0.50). Although total ASBQ-CN scores did not significantly differ between athletes and non-athletes, significant item-level differences were identified (p < 0.0028). Furthermore, athletes with poor sleep hygiene showed significant higher ASBQ-CN score (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe ASBQ-CN is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating sleep behavior in both adolescent and adult Chinese athletes, which could inform personalized interventions.
