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.

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.

Abstract

Objective: Diagnosing ADHD in children requires multi-method examinations, yet the efficacy of this approach remains inconsistent. Our case control study investigated which standardized assessment methods most accurately predict an ICD-10 ADHD diagnosis in mixed settings (inpatient, outpatient, school). Methods: We examined 125 children aged 6-13 years, thereof 56 with an ADHD diagnosis ( Results: CBCL and TRF achieved the highest classification accuracy focusing on inattention, followed by the YSR. Omission errors of CPT and QIKtest showed moderate classification performance while commission errors achieved the lowest. Combining CBCL, TRF and YSR showed superior diagnostic accuracy. Conclusions: Our results emphasize the relevance of multi-perspective questionnaire procedures for ADHD diagnosis despite potential acquisition challenges in clinical practice. Future research should develop more accurate objective test procedures and norm-based scales for children's self-reports.
