Considering cultural diversity in the management of ADHD in Hispanic patients.
Review in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed less often in Hispanics than in Caucasian patients. Furthermore, Hispanic patients with ADHD are undertreated. The reasons for these disparities are unknown, although difficulties with access to care among this population may offer a partial explanation. In order to improve treatment outcomes in Hispanic patients with ADHD, healthcare providers must reflect on the diversity of the Hispanic population, which consists largely of persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban descent. In spite of the fact that Hispanics share a similar language, religion and belief system, there are other significant cultural differences among these subgroups. In addition, English-language proficiency and socioeconomic variables, factors that are known to influence healthcare outcomes, may also differ markedly among Hispanic subgroups. Therefore, strategies to improve the treatment of ADHD in the Hispanic population must include overcoming language barriers by increasing the availability of Spanish-speaking professionals and medical translators and using culturally sensitive diagnostic instrumentation. Furthermore, improving knowledge of cultural practices of particular Hispanic subgroups may improve the therapeutic relationship between patients and clinicians, facilitate the diagnosis of ADHD and allow healthcare providers to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
