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

(1) Background: The Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI-40) is a widely used instrument for assessing individual differences in rational and experiential thinking styles based on Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory (CEST). Despite its international prominence, no comprehensive validation existed for Brazilian Portuguese populations. (2) Methods: This study validated the REI-40 for Brazilian Portuguese through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) estimated with a robust weighted least squares estimator (WLSMV) appropriate for ordinal items, comparison of competing structural models, internal-consistency and validity testing, and tests of measurement invariance across sex, education, and age, in a sample of 464 legal professionals from Brazil's Advocacy-General of the Union. (3) Results: The hypothesized four-factor, 40-item model showed acceptable fit (χ
