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

Background: The increasing integration of digital tools in clinical practice and research has led to the widespread use of electronically administered questionnaires. However, when a paper-and-pencil (paper-based) instrument is digitized, its original psychometric properties may not be preserved; assessing interformat reliability is essential to ensure data validity. Objective: To evaluate the interformat reliability and psychometric equivalence between the original paper-and-pencil Self-Assessment Anhedonia Scale (SAAS-p) and its electronic version (SAAS-e) in individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Methods: A fixed-order crossover design was used. Fifty-five adults diagnosed with SUDs were recruited from two Addiction Behavior Units during psychotherapeutic treatment. All participants completed both the SAAS-p and SAAS-e. Internal consistency (Cronbach's Results: Both SAAS formats demonstrated excellent internal consistency across the Global Scale, subscales, and dimensions ( Conclusion: The SAAS-e and SAAS-p show strong psychometric equivalence in patients with SUDs, supporting the reliability of the electronic version and extending evidence of the scale's validity to a heterogeneous clinical population.
