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

backgroundProlonged grief disorder (PGD) is included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders text-revised fifth edition (DSM-5-TR) and in the International Classification of Diseases Eleventh Edition (ICD-11). While PGD screening instruments exist for adults, these instruments are not applicable to children. Caretakers play a crucial role in screening for PGD in children.

objectiveWe evaluated the psychometric properties of the Traumatic Grief Inventory-Kids-Caregiver-Report (TGI-K-CR) to screen for DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 PGD in children.

methodOn a website with information about grief, 196 Dutch caregivers (82% woman;

resultsConfirmatory factor analyses showed support for two distinct, but related, factors for DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 PGD items. We found strong internal consistency (

conclusionsThe psychometric properties of the TGI-K-CR seem promising, but more research among larger samples is needed. This caregiver screening tool for PGD in children (aged 8-18) may advance child bereavement research and care.
