Short-term memory outcome measures: Psychometric evaluation and performance in youth with Down syndrome.
Article in Research in developmental disabilities, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundImproving short-term memory (STM) performance for individuals with Down syndrome (DS) has been a target of recent clinical trials. Validation of STM outcome measures is essential for research rigor in trials among children and adolescents with DS.
aimsThe current study investigated the psychometric properties of four direct STM assessments and one everyday memory parent form. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Measures were administered to a sample of 74 youth with DS at two visits, two weeks apart. Overall cognitive abilities were also assessed. OUTCOMES AND
resultsThe OMQ-PF had good feasibility and distribution of scores, but floor effects were prominent for direct measures. Test-retest reliability was poor to moderate for all measures and practice effects were problematic for the NEPSY-II List Memory and DAS-II Recall of Objects subtests. Commonalities in responses were observed, including primacy/recency effects, and some STM scores were correlated with overall cognitive abilities. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The OMQ-PF met most study criteria, but no direct measure met sufficient criteria to be strongly recommended for future clinical trials. Because higher cognitive abilities were related to assessment completion, STM measures may require adaptation for use in broader samples of youth with DS across all levels of cognitive ability.
