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

backgroundThe Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measures (CORE-OM) is a pantheoretical diagnostic instrument that has been widely used in mental health research. Nevertheless, the exploration of the factor structure of the CORE-OM yields diverse results.

aimsThis study aimed to explore the internal structure of the German CORE-OM using network analysis and compare several competing factorial structures of the CORE-OM with traditional confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to gain a more comprehensive understanding of its structural validity.

methodA total sample comprised 4496 (63% female) participants from an outpatient population. In a first step, we used network analysis (n

resultsThe estimated cross-sectional network demonstrated high correlation stability. The average item predictability was R

conclusionsThese findings suggest a refined structure for the CORE-OM, highlighting key item relationships and offering potential improvements for scoring and clinical use.
