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

Dysregulated irritability is the most robust early childhood transdiagnostic predictor of psychopathology. However, this evidence has failed to translate to practice due to a dearth of efficient, developmentally-based screening tools. Drawing on the well-validated Multidimensional Assessment Profiles (MAPS) Temper Loss Scale, early feasibility testing of a preliminary clinical screener (MAPS-Early Assessment Screener for Irritability; MAPS-EASI 1.0) was well-received. However, large-scale clinical implementation requires enhanced precision, with age-banded norms psychometrically derived in a large representative sample. Here, we aim to optimize MAPS-EASI for routine pediatric care via psychometric validation of the MAPS-EASI 2.0 Irritability Screener and Impact Rating. Data on 2-5-year-old children (N=1,508) were utilized to derive generalizable thresholds for MAPS-EASI 2.0. Analyses were guided by timing of toddler (
