Assessing overall functioning with adolescent inpatients.
Article in The Journal of nervous and mental disease, 2014. 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
The current study sought to evaluate the validity and reliability of a brief measure of overall functioning for adolescents. Clinicians were asked to complete the Overall Functioning Scale (OFS) for 72 adolescents consecutively admitted to the adolescent psychiatric inpatient service of a community safety net medical center. The results revealed that this new measure is related to the patients' length of stay, clinician-rated measures of social cognition and object relations, Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) score at admission, as well as global rating of engagement in individual psychotherapy. The results also showed that the OFS was related to the patients' history of nonsuicidal self-harm as well as treatment outcome as assessed by measures of psychological health and well-being as well as symptoms. Hierarchical regressions reveal that the OFS shows incremental validity greater than the admission GAF score in predicting length of stay. The results also showed that the OFS demonstrates interrater reliability in the excellent range (intraclass correlation coefficient(1,2)) of 0.88. Clinical implications of the use of this tool and areas of future research are discussed.
