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 epistemic trust in people with intellectual disabilities, we adapted the Questionnaire Epistemic Trust (QET) for people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning (MMID/BIF).

methodWe investigated the factor structure, the reliability and construct validity in 147 adults.

resultsWe replicated the 4-factor structure, after excluding four items with low factor loadings. Internal consistency was α = 0.58 for Hypervigilance, and ranged from α = 0.74 to 0.81 for the other subscales. Subscale test-retest reliability ranged from 0.504 to 0.747. No convergent validity was found with the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ). Discriminant validity was confirmed with the Scale of Emotional Development-Questionnaire (SED-Q), Scale of Emotional Development-Short (SED-S) and Autism Spectrum Quotient-10 (AQ-10), but not with General Social Trust (GST). DISCUSSION: The QET is promising for assessing epistemic trust of people with MMID/BIF at subscale level. Refining the items with a figurative expression seems needed.
