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

Introduction: The current study preliminarily assessed the psychometric properties of the Symptoms of Autistic Depression-Parent (SAD-P) scale. Method: The SAD-P and the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) were administered to 196 parents of autistic and neurotypical youth. Results: A preliminary exploratory factor analysis (EFA) suggested a 1-factor model best suited the SAD-P based on factor loadings, parsimony, and interpretability. EFAs conducted separately for parents of neurotypical youth and autistic youth also supported a one-factor solution. The SAD-P demonstrated acceptable convergent validity ( Discussion: Although this study is a preliminary step in scale development and more research is needed to validate the scale, the SAD-P shows promise as a preliminary measure of depressive symptoms in both autistic and neurotypical youth.
