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

Objective: To validate the psychometric properties of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) in amblyopic children at high AD/HD risk and establish its clinical utility for comorbid AD/HD screening. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized baseline data from the China Amblyopia Behavioral Cohort (CABC), which comprises 465 amblyopic children (aged 4-17 years). The reliability of the SNAP-IV was comprehensively assessed using Cronbach's alpha and the split-half coefficient. The validity of the SNAP-IV was evaluated using criterion validity with the Conners' parent rating scale (CPRS) and construct validity via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The measurement invariance of the SNAP-IV across gender and age groups was also investigated. Results: The SNAP-IV demonstrated exceptional internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.965 [95% CI: 0.958-0.972], split-half coefficient = 0.891) and strong criterion validity with the CPRS domains, particularly with respect to the oppositional factor of the SNAP-IV scale, which showed the highest correlation with the conduct problem factor of the Conners' Parent Rating Scale (CPRS) (r Conclusions: This study constitutes the first systematic validation of the SNAP-IV in amblyopic children, thereby establishing its robustness for AD/HD screening in visually impaired populations. The scale's standardized application has the potential to enhance the screening of early AD/HD-amblyopia comorbidity and the development of multidisciplinary intervention strategies for integrating visual and behavioral rehabilitation.
