Adaptation of the orthorexia beliefs scale into Turkish: a validity and reliability study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Background: Orthorexia nervosa is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with healthy eating, rigid dietary rules, and dysfunctional beliefs related to food, health, morality, and control. Despite the growing interest in orthorexia research in Türkiye, instruments directly assessing orthorexic beliefs remain limited. This study aimed to adapt the Orthorexia Beliefs Scale into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties in a sample of healthy adults. Method: This methodological study was conducted between October 2025 and January 2026 using an online snowball sampling strategy. The adaptation process followed a standard forward-backward translation procedure. A pilot study was first performed to assess item clarity and preliminary reliability ( Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value (0.922) and significant Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Turkish version of the Orthorexia Beliefs Scale is a valid, reliable, and culturally appropriate instrument for assessing orthorexic beliefs in the Turkish population and may contribute to future clinical and cross-cultural research on orthorexia nervosa.
