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

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders observed in children, which causes significant caregiver burden in terms of psychological, emotional, physical, and financial status. The current study correlates the severity and subtypes of ADHD with caregiver strain in children with ADHD. Methods: A cross-sectional study in which 40 caregivers of children with ADHD were assessed using a semi-structured proforma, Caregiver Strain Questionnaire (CSQ), and Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS). Results: The mean global score of caregiver strain in this study was suggestive of moderate caregiver burden. The combined subtype of ADHD was the most common (42.5%) and had the greatest mean score of severity in this study, but it caused the least caregiver burden ( Conclusion: The severity of caregiver burden is influenced by the subtype of ADHD and the existence of co-morbid psychiatric conditions. Applying such findings in routine clinical practice can be more helpful for improving the overall well-being of the child and the caregiver.
