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

Service members, Veterans, and military families regularly seek clinical care from civilian providers, and military cultural competence is critical for effective service provision. This study outlines the development and evaluation of three brief measures designed to assess military cultural competence among human service helping professionals. Participants were 258 diverse professionals. A series of psychometric analyses were conducted, including confirmatory factor analyses, tests for measurement invariance, and assessments of scale reliability and validity for each measure: Perceived Military Cultural Knowledge and Skills, Military Client Intervention Confidence, and Informed Practice Serving Military-Connected Clients. Results indicated good model fit. Measures were internally consistent, showed convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity, and demonstrated invariance over time. This initial study demonstrates that the three measures appear to be distinct, reliable, valid, and appropriate for use. Helping professionals and researchers can use these measures to assess military cultural competence for self-assessment, in training programs, and/or in research.
