Evaluating a Tool for Assessment of Adjustment Disorder in the U.S. Military: The Adjustment Disorder-New Module 20 for Military (ADNM-20-MIL).

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
objectivesAdjustment disorder (AjD) is a highly prevalent diagnosis in the U.S. military. Psychometric evaluation of the AjD assessment tool, the Adjustment Disorder New Module-Military (ADNM-20-MIL), improves the accuracy of AjD assessment for military service members.
methodsThis study investigated the internal reliability, convergent, and divergent validity of the ADNM-20-MIL as well as its factor structure. U.S. active duty service members (N = 149) with and without a recent AjD diagnosis completed the ADNM-20-MIL, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), and General Well-Being Schedule (GWB).
resultsADNM-20-MIL scores were significantly worse in the AjD-positive group; there were no AjD severity differences by sex, military rank, or past recent deployment status. The ADNM-20-MIL demonstrated robust internal reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.96, 95% CI [0.95-0.97]). It had strong positive associations with with the PCL-5 (rs (145) = 0.81, p < 0.001) and the DASS-21 (rs (146) = 0.83, p < 0.001), indicating convergent validity; and moderately negative associations with the GWB subdomains that reflect positive health (rs ranging from -0.5 to -0.63), p < 0.001, indicating divergent validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated a unidimensional structure for AjD symptoms.
conclusionsLongitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ADNM-20-MIL in assessing the trajectory of AjD in the military.
