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

Introduction: This paper presents the development and psychometric analyses of the Mentee Competency Self-Assessment (MCSA), a tool designed to evaluate mentee skills in research mentoring relationships and assess the Methods: The 26-item MCSA instrument was developed based on the validated Mentoring Competency Assessment (MCA) to evaluate the Results: Factor and reliability analyses support an eight-component structure of a 22-item MCSA. All parameter estimates were significant, and the components demonstrated acceptable to high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.58-0.90). Conclusions: The final 22-item scale (MCSA-22) aligns with eight competencies and is now suited for measuring mentee mentorship skills. Given the modest sample size and other study limitations, replication of this proposed modification of the MCSA is an important next step. Additional recommendations for future scale development are offered.
