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
BackgroundThe Assessment Checklist for Adolescents Plus (ACA+) is a 30-item caregiver-report mental health and relational strengths measure, containing items that are the converse of maltreatment-related mental health and relational difficulties measured by the Assessment Checklist for Adolescents (ACA) and its short form (ACA-SF). The present study is the first to investigate the ACA+'s content validity and factor structure.MethodsACA+ and ACA-SF scores were obtained for 220 adolescents (50.9% boys), aged 12-18 years, living in residential out-of-home care (OOHC) in the UK. Item validity was estimated from item score distributions (item means and prevalence), and correlations with ACA+ total and ACA-SF scale scores. Factor structure was investigated using principal components factor analysis.ResultsAs anticipated, all item-rest correlations were positive (
