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

backgroundEarly identification can accelerate access to effective support. We aimed to calibrate and validate ARTEMIS-A, a computerised adaptive assessment of mental health difficulties for young people (YP), and to explore its acceptability and feasibility.

methodThe ARTEMIS-A item bank comprises 175 questions from established standardised mental health measures. Calibration involved pupils aged 11-16 years completing overlapping sets of 40 questions. Convergent validity was evaluated by comparing calibrated ARTEMIS-A scores with the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). Online interviews with YP, parents and school staff explored perceived benefits and harms.

resultsOf 3183 recruited pupils from nine schools, 2276 provided complete calibration data. Then 103 YP from six schools completed both ARTEMIS-A and the DAWBA. ARTEMIS-A administered a median of four questions per participant (min 2, max 8), with a median completion time of 67 seconds. Convergent validity with clinically rated DSM 5 DAWBA diagnoses was good; correlation was 0.55 the area under the curve was 0.81. Parents and YP considered ARTEMIS-A acceptable and feasible, highlighting its speed, simplicity, and device flexibility.

conclusionsARTEMIS-A is potentially an efficient, flexible and cost-effective method of early identification of secondary school pupils who may require additional support for their mental health.
