Psychometric properties of the short form of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI-S) in young people with physical disabilities.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveDepression is a significant issue for young people with physical disabilities. Efficient and reliable questionnaires are needed to evaluate and monitor the efficacy of depression treatments in this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the 10-item version of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI-S) in a sample of young people with physical disabilities.
methodsA convenience sample of young people with physical disabilities (N=97) was recruited and interviewed. Reliability was evaluated using the Cronbach's α and examining the item-total correlations. Validity was evaluated by computing Pearson correlations between scores on the CDI-S and measures of pain and psychological functioning (anxiety and depression).
resultsThe CDS-I items loaded on a single factor. The internal consistency of the scale was good (Cronbach's α=0.84) and the CDI-S showed moderate significant correlations with pain intensity (r=0.29), pain interference (r=0.46) and psychological functioning (r=-0.57). Two of the items, however, did not perform well (i.e., item-total correlations <0.3, and Cronbach's α improved when they were deleted).
conclusionThe findings support the reliability and validity of the CDI-S scores for use in young people with physical disabilities. The measure's psychometric properties should be studied in larger samples. In addition, there is a new brief version of the CDI (CDI-S 2) that needs to be evaluated in order to determine which of the two scales is better for assessing depression in young people with physical disabilities.
