Linguistic Inequities in ADHD Diagnosis among School-age Children Screened for Attention Problems in Primary Care.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionAttention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remains underidentified among racial/ethnic minoritized populations. We examined whether parent reported screening questionnaires for attention problems in primary care mitigated these ADHD diagnostic inequities and identified contributing sociodemographic and clinical factors.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional electronic medical record (EMR) study in an urban, hospital-based primary care pediatric clinic of school age children (N=2212) with a completed Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-17). We examined differences between children with vs. without ADHD diagnoses, adjusting for positive PSC-17 attention score.
resultsAdjusting for positive PSC attention score, children had higher odds of an ADHD diagnosis if they were English-speaking and had a documented Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scale in their medical record.
conclusionMultilingual, parent-report screening for attention problems in pediatric primary care does not mitigate linguistic inequities in ADHD diagnosis.
