Testing measurement invariance of the Brief Symptom Inventory across race, sex, and time among adults with cocaine use disorder.

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.
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 Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) is a commonly used measure to understand the influence of psychological distress on substance use treatment outcomes. However, few studies have examined whether the BSI functions equivalently across groups to allow for interpretable comparisons among individuals who use substances. The present study evaluated measurement invariance of the full 53-item BSI and the BSI-18 across race, sex, and time among individuals with cocaine use disorder. Data from seven clinical trials evaluating behavioral and/or pharmacological treatments for cocaine use were combined, providing a total sample of 629 participants with
