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

Aim: Self-reported scales that adequately measure tonic irritability and provide international comparability are lacking in Japan. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the reliability, validity, and cross-cultural adaptation of both self- and parent-reported versions of the Japanese version of the Affective Reactivity Index. Methods: We used 2019 data from the Hirosaki City School Cohort Study, which is a part of the Assessment of Preschool to Adolescence-Longitudinal Epidemiological Study. To evaluate the construct validity of the Affective Reactivity Index, we examined the association between depressive symptoms and emotional and conduct problems. We applied item response theory to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Affective Reactivity Index and assess various latent traits. Results: Our findings confirmed the reliability and construct validity of both the self- and parent-reported versions of the Affective Reactivity Index ( Conclusion: This study comprehensively examined the reliability, validity, and cross-cultural adaptation of the Japanese version of the Affective Reactivity Index for both self- and parent-reports. These findings mark a crucial step in developing culturally adapted tools for assessing irritability in Japanese adolescents, contributing to both research and clinical settings.
