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

Recently, there has been a growing interest in developing new tools to measure neighborhood features using the benefits of emerging technologies. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of a neighborhood disorder observational scale using Google Street View (GSV). Two groups of raters conducted virtual audits of neighborhood disorder on all census block groups (N = 92) in a district of the city of Valencia (Spain). Four different analyses were conducted to validate the instrument. First, inter-rater reliability was assessed through intraclass correlation coefficients, indicating moderated levels of agreement among raters. Second, confirmatory factor analyses were performed to test the latent structure of the scale. A bifactor solution was proposed, comprising a general factor (general neighborhood disorder) and two specific factors (physical disorder and physical decay). Third, the virtual audit scores were assessed with the physical audit scores, showing a positive relationship between both audit methods. In addition, correlations between the factor scores and socioeconomic and criminality indicators were assessed. Finally, we analyzed the spatial autocorrelation of the scale factors, and two fully Bayesian spatial regression models were run to study the influence of these factors on drug-related police interventions and interventions with young offenders. All these indicators showed an association with the general neighborhood disorder. Taking together, results suggest that the GSV-based neighborhood disorder scale is a reliable, concise, and valid instrument to assess neighborhood disorder using new technologies.
