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

objectivesto translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Sexual Risk Behaviors Scale (SRBS) for the European Portuguese language and culture. The adaptation process sought to ensure conceptual, linguistic, and cultural equivalence, making the instrument suitable for Portuguese higher education students.

methodscross-sectional observational study. The translation was performed according to international guidelines; face validity was assessed by a panel of four sexuality experts; construct validity was assessed using results from 68 questionnaires completed online by health science students, as well as through correlation with the questionnaire "Students' Attitudes Towards Addressing Sexual Health - European Portuguese version". Internal consistency was also calculated.

resultsthe European Portuguese version showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.881, and demonstrated adequate psychometric properties, proving to be culturally appropriate for Portuguese students.

conclusionsthe European Portuguese version of the Sexual Risk Behaviors Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for use among the Portuguese population and in institutional settings.
