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

introductionFunctional impairment in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can occur in many areas such as in family, social activities, and problems related to school and may also persist during adulthood. The Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale-Parent Form (WFIRS-P) is designed to measure the functional impairment related to ADHD symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the level of functional impairment that distinguishes the patients with ADHD who were diagnosed through semi-structured interviews from those without ADHD.

methodThis study consists of ADHD patients who were diagnosed through semi-structured interview aged 5-18 years (n = 250) and same age gender-matched healthy controls (n = 250). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed by calculating the sensitivity and specificity of the scale cut-off values.

resultsAn area under the curve (AUC) of 0.974 (95% CI 0.956-0.986) was found in this study. For WFIRS-P subdomains, AUC curves, which range from 0.76 to 0.95, were also having strong power for differentiation between groups. The optimal cut-off value for WFIRS-P using Youden's J Index is 0.32. There is no significant gender and age group differences in AUC for either the total or subdomain scores.

conclusionOur findings provide that Turkish version of WFIRS-P could be a reliable way of distinguishing the level of functional impairment in ADHD from controls.
