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
purposeWe estimated agreement in classifying psychiatric disorders using a structured interview and symptom checklist, examined associations between psychiatric disorder and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in children with chronic physical illness, and investigated if the instruments were statistically equivalent in predicting HRQL.
methodsWe analyzed data from children aged 4-16 years diagnosed with a chronic physical illness. Parents and children completed the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID; interview), and Emotional Behavioural Scales (EBS; checklist). Two approaches classified psychiatric disorder for the EBS: 1-thresholds based on prevalence (b-EBS); 2-T scores ≥ 70 (t-EBS). Health-related quality of life was measured using the KIDSCREEN-27. Instrument and informant agreement was estimated with kappa (κ). Regression models examined associations between psychiatric disorder at baseline and 24-month HRQL. The method of variance estimates recovery was used to determine whether the instruments were statistically equivalent.
resultsAgreement for any psychiatric disorder between the parent-reported MINI-KID and b-EBS was considered substantial (κ = 0.61), but moderate with the t-EBS (κ = 0.51). Fair agreement was found for child reports (κ = 0.28 and κ = 0.29, respectively). Parent-child agreement across instruments was low. No associations between psychiatric disorder measured by the MINI-KID vs. the b-EBS or t-EBS on child HRQL were significantly different for either informant.
conclusionAgreement between instruments and informants was consistent with previous reports in other samples. Associations between psychiatric disorder and HRQL were not significantly different between the MINI-KID and EBS. Symptom checklists offer a practical opportunity to screen and monitor psychiatric disorder in children with physical illness.
