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

backgroundTo assess psychological problems in children having experienced traumatic events, multiple sources of information are gathered, including the caregiver's report. Caregiver and child reports rarely accord. As there is no consensus why reports differ, this study investigated the caregivers' knowledge on their child's psychological symptoms, implementing an "I don't know" option (IDK) in a measure on (complex) posttraumatic stress disorder- (C)PTSD.

methodsData of 269 caregivers (including 70.19% biological parents and 11.15% other caregivers) and their children (M

results43.49% of caregivers used at least one IDK response. IDK responses were unevenly distributed across (C)PTSD symptoms. There were no significant age or gender differences in children or caregivers regarding specific or total IDK. Social anxiety and suicidal tendencies were significantly associated with IDK. The LCA identified two caregiver-classes ("Knowers" vs. "Don't Knowers").

conclusionsThe patterns of IDK underline the necessity of implementing this response option to provide clinicians with insights on important areas of psychoeducation for caregivers.
