Test-retest stability, convergent validity, and sensitivity to change for the Goal-Based Outcome tool for adolescents: Analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of clinical psychology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
OBJECTIVE(S): To examine the psychometric properties of the idiographic Goal-Based Outcome (GBO) tool for young people: test-retest stability, convergent validity, and sensitivity to an intervention.
methodsThis measure validation study used data from a randomized controlled trial of school-based humanistic counseling. We used multilevel analyses to assess test-retest stability, convergent validity of the GBO tool against nomothetic measures of mental wellbeing, and sensitivity to an intervention.
resultsThe GBO tool showed acceptable stability over a 6-24 week period; moderate convergent validity with nomothetic measures of mental well-being, self-esteem, and depression; and greater sensitivity to an intervention than a measure of psychological distress.
conclusionsThe GBO tool shows evidence of having acceptable psychometric properties and is suitable for monitoring change on individual goals. It may also have the capacity to function as a population-level indicator of outcomes in conjunction with the use of other measures of mental health and wellbeing.
