Brief Screening Measures Identify Risk for Psychological Difficulties Among Children with Sickle Cell Disease.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience disproportionately high rates of psychological problems. Our goal was to examine the clinical utility of psychological screening measures to identify children with such problems in medical settings. Caregivers completed screening measures assessing social-emotional problems, ADHD symptoms, executive dysfunction, and health-related quality of life for children with SCD (receiving either chronic blood transfusion or hydroxyurea) and their siblings. Our findings demonstrated that screening measures identified clinically elevated symptoms in children with SCD that had not been previously reported. Scores for siblings were for the most part in the normal range. The number of days hospitalized (but not cerebral infarct status) predicted higher scores, emphasizing the challenges associated with SCD complications. Overall, our findings support the notion that screening measures reduce the need for reliance on medical provider judgment for psychological referrals and increase equitability in access to services. Early identification resulting in early intervention has contributed substantially to improved psychological functioning in many contexts, and it is thus likely that such improvements would also be achieved in this uniquely vulnerable population.
