Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Internet Skills Scale in a Chinese older adult population.
Article in Global health & medicine, 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
This study translated and back-translated the English version of the Internet Skills Scale (ISS) based on the Brislin translation model to develop a Chinese version of the scale. From June to December 2024, 260 older adults were recruited from the community to participate in the survey to evaluate the scale's reliability and validity. A total of 233 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding an effective response rate of 89.6%. Among the respondents, there were 121 males (52%) and 112 females (48%), with ages ranging from 60 to 90 years. The results showed that the Chinese version of the ISS consisted of four dimensions and 20 items. The Cronbach's αcoefficient for the total scale was 0.862, and the Cronbach's αcoefficients for the dimensions ranged from 0.705 to 0.912. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) extracted four common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 68.533%. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated a good model fit: χ²/df = 2.26, CFI = 0.978, IFI = 0.979, TLI = 0.974, GFI = 0.991, RMSEA = 0.074. For convergent validity, the composite reliability (CR) values were 0.932, 0.853, 0.795, and 0.88, respectively, and the average variance extracted (AVE) values were 0.734, 0.596, 0.511, and 0.616, respectively. These findings indicate that the scale demonstrates reliability and validity, making it an effective tool for assessing the digital competence of older adults.
