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

purposeTo evaluate the psychometric properties of a German modification of the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale-Parent Report for children with aggressive and oppositional behavior problems (WFIRS-P for ODD/CD).

methodsData were collected from a clinical sample of children (6-12 years; 96% boys) with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) (N = 219). The WFIRS-P conceptual framework was evaluated using confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). Reliability was estimated using internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and omega statistics. Validity was assessed through correlations between WFIRS-P for ODD/CD domain scores and parent-rated scales on symptoms of ODD, CD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a broad range of other behavioral and emotional problems, and scales on health-related quality of life and family burden.

resultsCFA of the WFIRS-P for ODD/CD revealed that a bifactor model, with a general factor accounting for common variance (ω

conclusionsThe use of the parent-rated WFIRS for ODD/CD in identifying ODD- and CD-related impairment in children is psychometrically supported. The scale can be employed to assess functional impairment in children with aggressive behavior problems.
