Design and validation of a community resilience scale in contexts of adversity.
Article in Frontiers in public 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
Background: Community Resilience has drawn growing interest over recent decades. It is now a key variable in social research and in studies of stress and coping. Despite this, no consensus exists on its concept, components, or measurement. Objective: This study aimed to develop and examine the psychometric properties of a brief community resilience scale grounded in psychosocial processes among Spanish-speaking populations in Argentina and Chile. It also provides translations to support further validation and application in other contexts and presents a conceptual framework consistent with the measure. Methods: A convenience sample of 1,077 participants from Argentina ( Results: Community Resilience was defined as the capacity of a community to cope with collective adversity, regulate collective emotions, and use community resources and social capital to promote collective efficacy. Exploratory and Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the CR scale comprises nine items in three dimensions: emotional regulation, social capital, and collective efficacy. The CR-9 scale showed satisfactory psychometric properties ( Conclusion: These findings provide initial support for a brief, multidimensional measure of community resilience (CR-9) among Spanish-speakers from Argentina and Chile. It measures three aspects: emotional regulation, social capital, and collective efficacy. The CR-9 performed well on reliability and validity tests in both groups. This scale is useful for community and social research, while its multilingual translations may facilitate future cross-cultural validation and use in diverse populations.
