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
Objective: This report evaluated how self- vs parent/guardian-report of irritability, a common transdiagnostic feature of mental illness in children and adolescents, relate to each other, and whether there are any differences based on sex. Method: Individuals (aged 8-17 years) from the ongoing Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) with data available for self- and parent/guardian-versions of the 5-item irritability domain of Concise Associated Symptom Tracking (CAST-IRR) as a measure were included (N=658). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) and item response theory (IRT) analyses evaluated psychometric properties for the full sample and for male and female participants separately. Weighted kappa statistics evaluated the agreement, and bifactor analysis evaluated shared vs unique components of the 2 versions. Results: Both self- and parent/guardian-report versions of CAST-IRR had similar psychometric properties in the full sample as well as in male and female participants separately. The slope of each item exceeded 1.0 on IRT analyses, suggesting adequate discrimination for each item. There was poor agreement for items of self- and parent/guardian versions (weighted kappa range, 0.07-0.21). Self- and parent/guardian-report versions were significantly correlated with other self- and parent/guardian-report measures of depression and anxiety, respectively. A bifactor model supported the presence of a shared factor as well as unique self- and parent/guardian-specific factors that explained 40.8%, 14.2%, and 45.0% variance, respectively. Conclusion: Self- and parent/guardian-report versions of CAST-IRR have similar psychometric properties in both male and female participants, and measure distinct aspects of irritability in youths. Clinicians may consider using both versions in their practice to comprehensively assess irritability.
