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

backgroundSeveral studies around the world report an increase in mental health problems among young people. Psychology is called upon to design ways to characterize these problems to make contextualized and effective interventions. The aim of this study was to analyze the factorial structure and reliability of the Social Determinants of Mental Health Questionnaire for Young Adults (SDMH), which was developed based on the Social Determinants of Health Model.

methodsThis study included 1232 young Colombians aged 18 to 28 years (M = 20.88; SD = 3.52; 46.8% were women). The questionnaire design was rigorous and involved the participation of experts on the subject, peer review, and a pilot study. Statistical analyses included descriptive, reliability, exploratory, and confirmatory factor analyses.

resultsThe analyses indicate high reliability, and the confirmatory factor analyses reveal an adequate factorial structure.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that the SDMH is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the social determinants of mental health among young Colombians. Additional studies are needed to consolidate evidence of internal structure validity and provide more information on other sources of evidence regarding test validity.
