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 Cyclothymic-Hypersensitive Temperament (CHT) is a multidimensional, transdiagnostic affective disposition characterized by mood instability, interpersonal sensitivity, heightened emotional reactivity and impulsive behaviors. The CHT Questionnaire (CHTQ) currently lacks of normative references and empirically derived thresholds. Methods: Study 1 established age- and sex-adjusted normative scores and derived percentiles, tolerance limits, and Equivalent Score (ES)-based risk categories. Study 2 tested the clinical relevance of these norms in 196 adolescents with bipolar spectrum disorders and propensity score-matched controls, examining group differences, ES-based risk distributions, and disorder-specific thresholds. Results: In Study 1, regression analyses showed a significant age-by-sex interaction for Total and subscale scores. Age was positively associated with Total in females ( Conclusion: Integrating age- and sex-adjusted norms with risk categories and clinical thresholds, the CHTQ may support developmentally informed early risk stratification and longitudinal monitoring.
