Psychometric Validation of the Persian Johns Hopkins Learning Environment Scale: A Cross-Sectional Validation Study Among Iranian Medical Students.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 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
Background: A valid assessment of the learning environment is essential for improving the quality of medical education and supporting students' academic and professional development. Although the Johns Hopkins Learning Environment Scale (JHLES) has demonstrated promising psychometric performance in several countries, no validated Persian version has been available. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian JHLES among Iranian medical students. Methods: This methodological cross-sectional validation study included 350 medical students from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The JHLES was translated and culturally adapted using a standardized forward-backward translation process. Face, content, construct, convergent, and discriminant validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and measurement invariance were evaluated using established psychometric methods. Results: The Persian JHLES demonstrated good evidence of face and content validity (S-CVI/Ave = 0.96). Exploratory factor analysis supported a seven-factor structure explaining 70.7% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated acceptable model fit ( Conclusion: The findings provide evidence supporting the validity and reliability of the Persian JHLES in this sample of Iranian medical students. The instrument may be useful for evaluating learning environments and informing quality improvement initiatives within similar educational settings. Further multicentre validation across diverse Iranian medical schools is warranted before broader national implementation.
