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

AIMS AND

methodTo truly understand the efficacy of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) psychoeducation, we need to know what is commonly included in it. This scoping review aims to describe the content of psychoeducation interventions for ADHD in published research. A literature search was conducted to identify relevant papers. Descriptions of psychoeducation aimed at children, parents/carers, adults and teachers were identified and compared narratively.

resultsAfter screening, 57 papers were identified for data extraction and coding. Content themes included 'information about ADHD'; 'practical advice'; 'impact of ADHD'; 'treatment of ADHD'; 'co-occurrence'; and 'self-image/self-esteem'. 'Information about ADHD' and 'practical advice' were the most common themes, with variance on inclusion of other themes. Most of the identified research involved psychoeducation for parents of children with ADHD. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This review provides greater understanding of the content and delivery of ADHD psychoeducation. Further research could use this understanding to ascertain the efficacy of different content themes in supporting those with ADHD.
