Improving healthcare information for young people with ADHD in general practice: a qualitative study.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that can have poor long-term outcomes when unmanaged. Young people aged 16-25 years with ADHD are often unable to access specialist health care as recommended by UK guidelines because of gaps in services, poor transitional support between child and adult services, and long waiting lists. Healthcare information, which is important for condition management, may help mitigate service gaps and support thriving in people with ADHD; however, little is known about provision via primary care.
aimTo investigate experiences of information provision supporting management of young people with ADHD in general practice and explore the potential of digital resources. DESIGN AND
settingThis qualitative study comprised interviews with young people with ADHD, their supporters, and primary healthcare professionals from sites across England.
methodParticipants were recruited from five purposively sampled general practices, varying by local area characteristics. Semi-structured interviews included questions about information provision, healthcare information needs, and digital resources. Themes were generated using reflexive thematic analysis, within a critical realist framework.
resultsIn total, 20 participants were recruited (11 healthcare professionals and nine people with lived experience). Four themes were generated: lack of ADHD-specific resources, supporting patients with condition management, dedicated resources for clinicians, and digital resources enhancing care
