Validation of the Traumatic Antecedents Questionnaire using item response theory.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTraumatic Antecedents Questionnaire (TAQ) is a traumatic experience scale that measures exposure to traumatic events across four age periods. Although the TAQ has good convergent validity with other traumatic scales, the classification of the domains and the psychometric properties of the scale has not been verified.
methodsA total of 290 young adults completed the TAQ, and 156 participated in the retest. The number of trauma domains was determined using principal component analysis. Rasch model was used for verifying the items that each domain might represent in one common measurement.
resultsWhen scores were transformed as binary a code 0 and 1 from the original 4 categories, 8 domains were established consisting of Domestic violence, Sexual/other rare trauma, Incompetence, Caring family, Accidents to close person, Unstable caring environment, Safe environment, and Lack of sexual/extreme trauma. Most domains had acceptable psychometric properties with a mean-square fit value within the range of 0.7-1.3. The Bland and Altman analysis suggest 98.7% of difference scores between test and retest were within ±2 standard deviations from the mean. TAQ severity showed a significant relationship with the multiplicity score of the Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure scale (r = 0.677).
conclusionsThe newly proposed scoring system and 8 domains for the TAQ demonstrated excellent internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and validity. Further studies are needed to develop new items in domains with less than 5 items to improve the psychometric properties of the scale and to create a maltreatment domain that includes bullying items.
