Evaluation of the German Version of the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5 as a Screening Tool for Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Primary Care.

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
Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is common, but often undiagnosed. A valid and time-efficient screening tool for primary care is needed. Objective of this study is to evaluate the German version of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5) and its feasibility, acceptability, and reliability as a screening tool for adult ADHD in primary care. A multi-centered prospective, diagnostic study was performed. We recruited 262 patients in primary care practices and at an ADHD Outpatient Service of a department of psychiatry in Germany. Patients from 18 to 65 years with suspected or diagnosed ADHD were included by medical doctors, as well as non-ADHD patients as "negative controls." Participants filled in the ASRS-5 and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The Integrated Diagnosis of Adult ADHD, revised version (IDA-R) performed by trained interviewers was used for validation. Feasibility, acceptability, and credibility in primary care practices were examined through a semi-structured interview. The German version of the ASRS-5 showed comparable psychometric properties to the English original version (sensitivity 95.6% and specificity 72.3%). For factor structure, a parallel analysis suggested one latent dimension. Performing confirmatory factor analysis, the best fit was achieved for a general factor with one correlated error. Internal consistency results in Raykovs Omega = 0.86 and Cronbach's
