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

We assessed the appropriateness of the bifactor model for a Mexican ADHD symptom questionnaire (BMQ-ADHD) applied to parents and teachers of elementary school children. With a sample of 765 reports of children's behavior (48.7% with ADHD A1 criteria, 42.6% girls, mean age 8.5 years [± 1.6 sd]), we examined construct validity, measurement invariance, differences for gender and school level, and the appropriateness of using summed scores. The BMQ-ADHD questionnaire was characterized by good construct validity for the bifactor model for parents' and teachers' reports. For both corpora, we detected invariance for gender and school level. There were differences in ADHD symptoms by gender, but not by school year. The summed scores may represent the factors accurately for females but may present difficulty for males in the parents' questionnaires. The present study revealed good BMQ-ADHD psychometric properties for a unidimensional-hierarchical ADHD scale segregated by gender for parents' and teachers' reports.
