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

Mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, are a major cause of morbidity across Sub-Saharan Africa. There are scarce mental health resources and providers in Madagascar, which substantiates a need for clear and accessible assessment tools for assessing mental health conditions. Yet, before this study, there were no validated scales to measure anxiety disorder symptoms in Madagascar. We assessed the psychometric properties of the culturally adapted 10-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-10-SW) anxiety subscale in the Bay of Ranobe region, in southwestern Madagascar. The study participants were part of the ongoing HIARA cohort study. The HSCL-10-SW includes the original HSCL-10 anxiety subscale in addition to three culturally relevant items that were derived through qualitative research:
