Construction and validation of interpersonal violence in terms of the hot weather scale for university students.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
The development and validation of interpersonal violence in terms of hot weather scale is the goal of the current study. The initial pool of items was developed by reviewing the literature and taking into account the results of semi-structured interviews (inductive & deductive approach). After expert opinion and ensuring content validity, 25 Items were finalized for further analysis. To run an exploratory factor analysis, data were collected from 1,000 university students. EFA revealed a unidimensional factor structure with 16 retained items, explaining 80.2% of the variance. The scale's 0.98 Cronbach's alpha demonstrates a good level of internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional factor structure with 16 items retained on an independent sample of 350 university students. Convergent and divergent validity of the scale was assessed through an independent sample (n = 440). The results showed that there was a strong positive relationship of interpersonal violence in terms of hot weather, with aggression, and a non-significant relationship with eating behavior. The scale can be regarded as a psychometrically reliable tool to assess interpersonal violence in terms of hot weather.
