Development of the Digital Dementia Scale Adult Form (DDAF) and examination of its psychometric characteristics.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
aimDeveloping a measurement tool to determine digital dementia is an important step toward understanding the prevalence and effects of digital dementia. The present study aimed to develop the "Digital Dementia Scale Adult Form" to determine digital dementia in individuals aged 18 and over by examining the concept of digital dementia.
methodsThe form which consisted of 22 statements with proven validity in terms of language and psychometrics was applied to 615 individuals. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity, and a 27% lower-upper group comparison was made to determine the internal validity
resultsThe "Digital Dementia Scale Adult Form" consisted of 3 subdimensions and 15 items and could explain 65.7% of the total variance as a 5-point Likert-type scale (Never: "0", Rarely: "1", Sometimes: "2", Frequently: "3", and Always: "4"). The total score on the scale varies between 0-60, and as the score increases, the level of digital dementia also increases. The Cronbach α Reliability Coefficient of the scale was calculated as .92, indicating high reliability.
conclusionThe "Digital Dementia Scale Adult Form" is valid in terms of scope and content and has high reliability.
