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.
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: Childhood depression has become a serious concern in recent years. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to have a reliable instrument for measuring depressive symptoms adapted to their culture and language. The Children's Depression Inventory 2 (CDI-2) is a tool that has been widely used in many countries. The present study aimed to investigate the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the full-length 28-item Greek-Cypriot version of the CDI-2: Self Report (CDI-2:SR) among schoolchildren in Cyprus. Methods: A methodological instrument validation design was performed between 2020 and 2023 on a nationwide random sample of schoolchildren in Cyprus recruited from public elementary schools. A total of 420 Cypriot children aged 11-13 years were included in the study. Internal consistency was determined, and factor analysis was performed to examine the psychometric properties of the CDI-2:SR. Results: The internal consistency of the CDI-2:SR was adequate. In addition, factor analysis indicated a two-factor solution, with the first factor reflecting social-emotional problems and the second factor representing cognitive-behavioral problems. Conclusions: The Greek Cypriot version of the instrument appeared to be satisfactory in terms of reliability and validity for screening depressive symptoms in children.
