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

purposeThis study developed and evaluated a new personal recovery scale—Global INSPIRE—in English and Japanese, and compared responses between Japan and the UK. Personal recovery—living a satisfying and meaningful life despite mental health challenges—has gained attention in mental health. The widely-used CHIME framework identifies five recovery processes: Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment. Full INSPIRE evaluates whether service users feel supported in each CHIME process. However, emerging cross-cultural evidence indicates differences in the priority placed on each CHIME domain. No tool exists to assess recovery priorities, hindering cross-cultural research.

methodsThe 20-item self-completed Global INSPIRE was adapted from the Full INSPIRE to assess recovery priorities of both service users and non-service users. Participants in the UK (n = 512) and Japan (n = 507) completed the Global INSPIRE at baseline and two-week follow-up. Psychometric properties were evaluated, including reliability, test-retest stability, and discriminant validity with two established recovery scales—CORE-10 and QPR-15. Cross-national differences in recovery priorities were also examined.

resultsBoth versions showed excellent reliability (α = 0.91 UK; 0.97 Japan), test-retest stability (4/5 processes UK, 5/5 Japan), and acceptable model fit (CFI = 0.80 UK; 0.85 Japan). Measurement invariance supported configural (CFI = 0.89) and metric invariance (CFI = 0.89) but not scalar invariance (CFI = 0.83). Discriminant validity was supported by weak correlations with CORE-10 and QPR-15. UK participants prioritised Hope, Meaning, and Empowerment, while Japanese participants prioritised Identity.

conclusionGlobal INSPIRE is a reliable and culturally adaptable tool for assessing distinct recovery priorities. Future research should explore demographic differences and expand testing across diverse cultural contexts.
