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

Objectives: The Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS) is an interview-based instrument evaluating the existence and severity of negative symptoms in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. The aim of this study is to translate and validate a French version of the CAINS in a French sample of outpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Methods: In this study, we included 84 outpatients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia from the University Department of Adult Psychiatry in Montpellier, France. All participants were assessed for the severity of negative symptoms as well as level of depression. Psychometric properties of the French CAINS were investigated including its factor structure, internal consistency, and interrater and test-retest reliabilities. We also determined the discriminant and convergent validity. Results: Exploratory factor analysis and parallel analysis reproduced the two-factor model, and explained 43.55% of the total score variation with good internal consistency (Cronbach α of 0.87). Both interrater and test-retest reliabilities were high for the CAINS and its subscales (intraclass correlation coefficient range, 0.89-0.99). The standard errors of measurement and minimal detectable change were also investigated. Convergent validity of the CAINS was underpinned by correlations obtained with various measures of negative symptoms. Adequate discriminant validity was established by showing that the CAINS did not correlate with positive symptoms. Conclusion: Overall, our results obtained were similar to those found in the original study of the CAINS. Structural analyses also replicated the two-factor model of the CAINS. Our results indicate that the French CAINS has robust psychometric properties and is a valid tool for evaluating negative symptoms in French-speaking individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
