Psychometric Properties of the Death Anxiety Beliefs and Behaviors Scale: A Methodological Study in Türkiye.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 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
Death anxiety is a multidimensional construct encompassing emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses to mortality. In societies like Türkiye, where cultural and spiritual values significantly shape the perception of death, valid measurement tools are essential for understanding how individuals experience these concerns. The Death Anxiety Beliefs and Behaviors Scale (DABBS) is a comprehensive instrument capturing these dimensions; however, no validated Turkish version has been available. This study aimed to adapt the DABBS into Turkish and evaluate its structural validity and reliability among adults in Türkiye. A methodological and cross-sectional study design was employed with data collected from 195 adults across different regions of Türkiye. Participants completed an online survey including a Descriptive Form and the 18-item Turkish version of the scale (DABBS-T). Translation and cultural adaptation followed international guidelines. Construct validity was assessed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest stability. CFA supported the original three-factor structure of the scale-emotion, belief, and behavior-with factor loadings ranging from 0.530 to 0.940. The model demonstrated acceptable fit indices (χ
