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

Introduction: The Adolescent Story Stem Assessment Profile (ASSP) is a newly developed narrative measure aimed at assessing the psychological wellbeing of adolescents. This study investigates the psychometric properties of the ASSP within the British population, with the goal of elucidating its unique strengths and limitations. Methods: We conducted an exploratory factor analysis on the responses of a community sample of adolescents in the UK ( Results: We demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency, construct reliability, and discriminant validity among adolescents with varying levels of risk factors. The findings suggest that the ASSP is a promising tool for measuring mental health in adolescents, providing an economical and practically accessible method for both preventative and clinical applications. Discussion: Our results yield critical insights into the complex nature of adolescents' psychological development, highlighting the necessity for tailored measures and interventions that address the diverse psychological needs of this population. Overall, this study represents a significant initial step toward establishing the ASSP as a valuable resource in both research and clinical practice, with implications for future studies aimed at enhancing our understanding of attachment to carers, peer relations, mentalization and affect competences in adolescence. The insights gained from this research underscore the importance of developing assessment tools that are sensitive to the unique psychological experiences of adolescents, ultimately contributing to more effective interventions and support strategies.
