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.

Abstract

backgroundThis study had two main objectives: firstly, to assess the suitability of the Spanish translation of the Young Person's Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation (YP-CORE) for use in Latin America, and secondly, to investigate its psychometric properties specifically with Ecuadorian adolescents.

methodsThe research consisted of two phases. In Phase 1, insights were gathered from 19 adolescents and 12 experts regarding their comprehension of the YP-CORE. Based on the feedback received during this phase, a revised version of the YP-CORE was developed. In Phase 2, a psychometric assessment of this modified version was conducted with 298 adolescents in Ecuador, aged 11 to 17 years.

resultsThe psychometric analysis revealed that this adapted version of the YP-CORE demonstrated satisfactory levels of acceptability, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. The factor analysis favored a two-factor model over a single factor, yet the minimal substantive distinctions between these two factors do not justify the use of subscale scoring. Furthermore, the scores indicated age-related differences, with older adolescents (aged 14 to 17 years) obtaining higher scores, and gender-related variations, with females scoring higher.

conclusionsThis study addresses the need for, and provides, a Spanish-adapted YP-CORE tailored for use in Latin America. This freely available version has the potential to offer valuable insights into interventions for adolescents in the region and to enhance our understanding of their psychological distress.
