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

Background: Suboptimal health status (SHS), while understood worldwide, is a widespread public health problem and a reversible condition that presents symptoms in the pre-disease process, ranging from optimal health to illness. Therefore, relevant questionnaires need to be developed across diverse populations and cultures to predict and prevent SHS and to inform personalized medical practices. Therefore, this study aims to adapt the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire to Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability among Turkish nurses. Methods: Between January and March 2022, 247 nurses were recruited by convenience sampling at Muğla Training and Research Hospital. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis were performed, respectively, to test the construct validity and reliability of the scale. Results: Results indicated excellent reliability (content validity index = 0.78, Cronbach's Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SHSQ-25 scale was found to be a reliable and valid measurement instrument and can be used to measure SHS among Turkish nurses.
