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

Rumination is thought to be a key mechanism contributing to onset and persistence of depression. We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a measure of rumination, the Children's Response Styles Questionnaire (CRSQ), in a sample of UK adolescents (11-16 years; N = 615) who also completed measures of anxiety and depression symptoms. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor solution: 'rumination' and 'distraction and problem-solving' (DPS), however the DPS subscale was weaker due to item removal. Full and partial measurement invariance was demonstrated for age and gender respectively. The rumination subscale showed good internal consistency, and it is moderately positively correlated with depression and anxiety symptom measures. Our study suggests that the rumination subscale is both reliable and valid and indicates that the measure could be used in research with UK adolescents, however caution is needed if using the DPS subscale. Future research in clinical populations is warranted.
