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

This article moves from ethnography to epidemiology to generate a locally specific assessment of stress and evaluates it correlates with general psychiatric morbidity. We conducted two related ethnographic studies of stress and distress in Soweto, South Africa (N=107). We then used these studies to develop the Soweto Stress Scale, piloted the scale, and then evaluated its use in an epidemiological surveillance study of stress and health (N=933). We used factor analyses to evaluate factor structure and maximum likelihood estimates to evaluate comparative fit indices. The Keiser-Meyer-Olkin test identified sufficient sample variation, and the scale was suitable for factor analysis. The confirmatory factor analysis supported a single-factor model with a χ
