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

purposeIdentifying the underlying factors that contribute to poor wellbeing and developing strategies for early intervention are essential for promoting overall wellbeing. Many important aspects of wellbeing and quality of life are subjective experiences and therefore require self-report. The KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire is widely used for this purpose. However, the self-report versions have mainly been validated for children aged 12 to 18 years. This study aims to develop a video-assisted format the KIDSCREEN-27 that enable self-report of wellbeing by children aged six to ten years and to test its psychometric properties.

methodsThe Danish-translated version KIDSCREEN-27 was slightly adapted in wording and items (N=12) and a video-format, including audio, illustrations, and smiley-supported scales, was developed, and tested. Next, a psychometric investigation of this version (KIDSCREEN-VIDEO) was conducted on 788 Danish children aged six to ten years (49.8% girls).

resultsConfirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable to good model-fit: X

conclusionBased on our results, the KIDSCREEN-VIDEO provides a promising self-reported measure for wellbeing among children aged six to ten.
