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

Purpose: This study evaluated six abbreviated versions of the DASS-21 in adult male survivors of sexual abuse to identify valid, reliable, and efficient tools for trauma-informed assessment. Method: Secondary data from 534 male survivors were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis to assess model fit, reliability, and construct validity. Results: All forms showed acceptable reliability ( Discussion: The DASS-12a is the most sound three-factor option, while the D-10 offers a more robust, two-factor measure of general distress ideal for rapid screening. Generalizability is limited.
