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

backgroundThe Child and Youth Mental Health and Developmental Disability ChYMH-DD is a psychometrically rigorous tool for care planning for children with developmental disabilities. It allows paediatricians and other healthcare professionals to perform a comprehensive assessment of children functional status and family burden.

aimThe aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and preliminarily assess the Italian version of the ChYMH-DD for use in clinical settings involving pediatric patients with developmental disabilities.

methodsThe original version of the ChYMH-DD was translated and cross-culturally adapted through five stages: (1) initial translation, (2) synthesis of the translations, (3) back translation, (4) expert committee, and (5) test of the pre-final version.

resultsIn the present study we successfully translated and adapted the ChYMH-DD into the Italian language. Translation of the questionnaire was performed without significant difficulties. During the third stage, no gross inconsistencies and conceptual errors as compared to the original version were highlighted.

conclusionThe Italian version of ChYMH-DD increase access to a valid and homogeneous assessment for children of Italian-speaking families and can support clinical decision-making. The Italian ChYMH-DD has potential to improve patients’ quality of life and quality of the care received for children with developmental disabilities.
