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

aimThis study aimed to adapt the Self-Esteem Stability Scale (SESS) to Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability among nurses. Understanding self-esteem stability is crucial for assessing psychological well-being in healthcare professionals.

designA cross-sectional methodological study.

methodsThe study included 305 nurses (83% women, 17% men), aged 20-47 (mean age = 28.57), working in a hospital setting. The psychometric evaluation of the Turkish version of the SESS involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA), assessment of criterion validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency.

resultsThe Turkish SESS showed a clear one-factor structure; EFA produced a first eigenvalue of 2.34 (> 1) explaining 78.08% of variance, with factor loadings 0.84-0.91 and corrected item-total correlations 0.66-0.78. CFA indicated excellent fit (CFI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.03). Reliability was high (α = 0.86) with strong four-week test-retest stability (r = 0.84).

conclusionsThe Turkish version of the SESS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing self-esteem stability among nurses. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
