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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the adult self-report and proxy version of the Trauma Screener-Intellectual Disability (TS-ID) in adults with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF). An optimal cut-off value was determined for the ratio of specificity to sensitivity for predicting the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

methodsThe TS-ID was adapted from a Dutch Child and Adolescent Trauma Screener, for use with adults with MID-BIF. Outcomes based on the TS-ID were compared with the presence of PTSD, as classified using the Diagnostic Interview Trauma and Stressors-Intellectual Disability (Mevissen et al. 2018). The TS-ID adult version was administered to 97 participants with MID-BIF who lived in supported housing, whereas the TS-ID proxy version was administered to 92 family members or professional caregivers.

resultsThe TS-ID adult version showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .94) and excellent validity (AUC = .94) for distinguishing PTSD in adults with MID-BIF. Optimal specificity and sensitivity was found at a cut-off score of 18. Although the TS-ID proxy version demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .93), it showed no validity in statistically distinguishing PTSD in adults with MID-BIF.

conclusionsThe TS-ID showed favourable psychometric qualities as a screening instrument of PTSD in the case for people with MID-BIF.
