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

objectiveWe developed an internalizing module for the Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test (KEPT) to assess parenting knowledge of skills and strategies relevant to helping children manage their internalizing symptoms using an item response theory (IRT) framework.

methodAn initial item pool (40 items) was drafted and administered online to a large national sample of parents/guardians of school-age children (5 to 12 years) selected to match the U.S. population on key demographic variables (

resultsThe outcome is a 22-item internalizing module for the KEPT with strong indices of reliability and validity. A brief (10-item) version of the instrument was also developed to allow for efficient administration in the context of longitudinal and intervention research. We provide norms (raw scores, theta scores, and T-scores) for both the 22-item version (KEPT-I) and the 10-item version (Brief KEPT-I).

conclusionsThe study resulted in a new assessment tool that measures parenting knowledge relevant to internalizing symptoms in children. The new tool has strong psychometric properties and potential use for developmental research and treatment outcome trials.
