Assessing stable validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the individualized supported employment fidelity scale: A replication.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe Japanese version of the individualized Supported Employment Fidelity scale (JiSEF) was developed by modifying the 25-item Individual Placement and Support Fidelity Scale (IPS-25). While a preliminary study partly confirmed the concurrent validity with vocational outcomes, this replication study aimed to examine the stability of the concurrent validity and the inter-rater reliability of the JiSEF and to test its convergent validity with IPS-25.
methodsFidelity assessments were conducted in 2016 (n = 17), 2017 (n = 13), and 2018 (n = 18) to examine the employment rate and the fidelity scores at the agency level. We also evaluated the fidelity scores for the IPS-25 in 2018. We examined the associations between the fidelity scale scores and vocational outcomes for the concurrent validity and between the fidelity scales for convergent validity. The inter-rater reliability was examined in the 2016 and 2017 assessments.
resultsHigh intraclass correlation coefficients (0.93 in 2016 and 0.92 in 2017) were obtained for the inter-rater reliability. The JiSEF score in each year was associated with the agency employment rate (r = 0.710, P = 0.001 in 2016; r = 0.722, P = 0.005 in 2017; and r = 0.665, P = 0.003 in 2018). A supplementary longitudinal data analysis also confirmed the association between the JiSEF score and the employment outcomes. Additionally, the JiSEF was significantly correlated with the IPS-25 (r = 0.760, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThis study stably replicated good inter-rater reliability and concurrent validity of the JiSEF. Additionally, the convergent validity was confirmed. Further studies with large samples are needed to confirm these findings.
