Psychometric Evaluation of the Swedish Version of the Child Behaviour Check List (CBCL) 1.5-5.

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
aimExamine the psychometric properties of the Swedish Child Behaviour Check List (CBCL) 1.5-5.
methodsCBCL 1.5-5 responses were collected from 1156 mothers about their 18-month-old children in a population-based study. Representation was analysed by comparing the study sample with two Swedish national samples; scores were reweighted to adjust for selection bias. Confirmatory factor analysis was done using Robust Maximum Likelihood (MLR) estimation on CBCL 1.5-5 syndrome scales and Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) estimation for item level. Test-retest reliability was examined with the Pearson (r) coefficient in a subsample (n = 80). Convergent validity was tested between CBCL 1.5-5 and the Early Childhood Behaviour Questionnaire (ECBQ) Very Short Form (n = 826).
resultsInternal consistency of the CBCL scales varied, McDonald's Omega (ω) 0.5-0.9. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good factor fit for seven factors. Test-retest reliability for the Total Problem Score (TPS), Internalising Problems Score (IPS) and Externalising Problems Score (EPS) scales after 4-12 months was r = 0.53, 0.43 and 0.53. Convergence validity was tested between the CBCL 1.5-5 EPS scale and the Early Childhood Behaviour Questionnaire (ECBQ) Effortful control scale (r = -0.51), and the CBCL 1.5-5 IPS scale and ECBQ Negative Affectivity scale (r = 0.45).
conclusionThe Swedish translation of CBCL 1.5-5 showed good psychometric properties.
