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

objectivesAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults extends beyond inattention and impulsivity, encompassing challenges in emotion regulation and organization. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Wender-Reimherr Self-Report Scale (SR-WRAADDS), developed based on the Utah Criteria for adult ADHD.

methodsThe study included 172 adults diagnosed with ADHD and 92 healthy controls. Participants completed the SR-WRAADDS, Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS), Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

resultsThe SR-WRAADDS total score was significantly higher in the ADHD group (p < 0.001). Factor analysis demonstrated a four-factor structure: attention deficit, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity/hyperactivity, and temperament, explaining 61.8% of the variance. Internal consistency was acceptable for all subscales (Cronbach's α = 0.67-0.86). SR-WRAADDS scores correlated positively with WURS and ASRS, but not with HADS subscales. Test-retest reliability ranged from moderate to strong.

conclusionThe Turkish SR-WRAADDS is a valid and reliable self-report instrument that captures the multidimensional nature of adult ADHD, including emotional dysregulation. Its robust psychometric properties and diagnostic utility make it a powerful tool for both clinical practice and future research.
