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

Introduction: The present study aimed to contribute to the analysis of the psychometric properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in a sample of adolescents residing in San Luis Potosí (SLP), Mexico. Methods: 768 adolescents from SLP, Mexico, participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to test the one and two-factor models, taking into account the ordinal nature of the items in the model estimation method. Internal consistency was evaluated using the Coefficient alpha (α) and Coefficient omega (ω). Invariance measurement by sex was tested. Also, the relationship with the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7 scale) was tested. Results: The CFA analyses indicated that both models, the one-factor model and the two-factor model, had a very good fit. The single factor and the two factors of the models demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Coefficient alpha ranging from 0.779 to 0.896). Both models demonstrated measurement invariance by sex up to the Conclusion: It is concluded that the PHQ-9 scale presents good psychometric properties for the Mexican adolescent population.
