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

The goal of this study is to provide the psychometric properties of a new measure of executive function (EF), based on the representation, planning, monitoring/execution (RPM) process framework. Two versions of the EF RPM scale are contrasted with a different rating scale of EF, and further related to relevant associated outcomes. Results show positive distributional, reliability, and validity evidence for the EF RPM scale. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that items aligned with their assigned factor, and the factors were strongly related to one another as expected with a unitary EF process. The two versions of the EF RPM scale showed good convergent validity with another EF scale and expected relations with functional outcomes and demographic characteristics. The EF RPM scale also showed stronger discriminant validity relative to a different EF scale for non-EF behavioral symptomatology. Future work needs to gather additional evidence for these scales in different contexts and settings (e.g., in specific populations, in clinics) and in relation to other outcomes (e.g., achievement, daily life outcomes, cognitive variables).
