The Psychometric Properties of the Drug Abuse Screening Test.
Article in Addiction & health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundSubstance abuse is a critical problem in most countries, especially in developing ones. Early detection is the pre-requisite of early control, for which reliable and valid tools are required. In the present study, we aimed at measuring the psychometric properties of the 10-item Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10) in Iranian individuals.
methodsAfter translation and back-translation of the questionnaire, 244 adults were recruited from Tehran Megacity, Iran, and completed the questionnaires. Participants were recruited by a multistage randomized cluster sampling method. Reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha. Also, construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA).
findingsThe internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the total score of the Persian version of DAST-10 was 0.93. EFA evoked only one factor for DAST-10. The CFA for 1-factor models for DAST-10 indicated an acceptable fit for the proposed models.
conclusionThe results prove desirable reliability and validity of the Persian version of the DAST which can be utilized as a screening instrument for drug abuse among Iranian adults.
