A Precision Mental Health Model for Predicting Stability of 4-year-olds' Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms to Age 6 Diagnostic Status.

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
objectiveEstimates of the stability of a preschooler's diagnosis of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) into early elementary school vary greatly. Identified factors associated with diagnostic instability provide little guidance about the likelihood a particular child will have ADHD in elementary school. This study examined an approach to predicting age 6 ADHD-any subtype (ADHD-any) from preschoolers' demographics and ADHD symptoms.
methodParticipants were 796 preschool children (M
resultsOver half (52.05%) of preschoolers meeting diagnostic criteria for ADHD-any at age 4 did not meet those criteria at age 6; more than half (52.05%) meeting criteria for ADHD-any at age 6 had not met those criteria at age 4. A CTA conducted at age 4 predicted age 6 ADHD-any diagnosis 65.82% better than chance; an age 5 CTA predicted age 6 ADHD-any 70.60% better than chance. At age 4, likelihood of age 6 ADHD-any diagnosis varied from <5% to >40% across CTA tree branches and from <5% to >78% at age 5.
conclusionsParent-reported patterns of preschool-age symptoms may differentially predict ADHD-any at age 6. Psychoeducation regarding these patterns may aid in decision about pursuing multidisciplinary evaluations or initiating treatment.
