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

Racial disparities in ADHD diagnoses may be attributable to parent-teacher discrepancies in symptom ratings, as teachers rate Black children as more symptomatic than non-Black children. Implicit racial biases may be a contributor to these parent-teacher differences. This study examined specific forms of racial biases among White teachers and Black parents, and their association with ratings of Black and White children's ADHD behaviors. Participants watched short videoclips and rated children's ADHD symptoms, and completed measures of implicit and explicit racial attitudes and ADHD stereotypes. Results showed that White teachers demonstrated more implicit biases than did Black parents. Implicit racial attitudes toward Black boys were associated with biased ratings of Black boys' ADHD symptoms, and explicit racial attitudes were associated with biased ratings of Black girls' ADHD symptoms. These findings demonstrate a potential role of teachers' implicit racial biases in ratings of Black children's externalizing behaviors, including ADHD.
