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

We report on the development and psychometric properties of an instrument for the assessment of knowledge of effective parenting skills specific to conduct problems using an item response theory (IRT) framework. The initial item pool (36 items) for the Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test (KEPT) was administered online to a national sample (N = 1,570) selected to match the U.S. population on key demographic variables. Items with strong psychometric properties and without significant differential item functioning (DIF) by race/ethnicity were retained, resulting in a 21-item version of the KEPT with excellent reliability and validity. We also created a brief 10-item version of the KEPT to reduce respondent burden and to enhance its utility for repeated measurement in longitudinal and intervention research. We report norms and percentiles for both the 21-item version (KEPT-Full) and the 10-item version (KEPT-Brief). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
