The use of the Auditory Processing Domains Questionnaire (APDQ) in Brazilian Portuguese with caregivers of children and adolescents with diverse neurodevelopmental conditions.

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
purposeTo investigate the capacity of the Auditory Processing Domains Questionnaire (APDQ), in its Brazilian Portuguese version, to differentiate children and adolescents with diverse neurodevelopmental conditions based on their caregivers' responses.
methodsThis was an analytical, multicenter study. Consisted of guardians of individuals aged between seven and 17 years old, divided into three groups according to neurodevelopmental condition: Control Group (CG); Human Communication Disorders Group (HCDG); and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Group (ADHDG). All caregivers completed the APDQ, a scale consisting of 50 questions divided into three domains. The questionnaire generates a percentage score for each domain, a total score, and an indication of risk for developmental impairment, referred to as the outcome. The data was analyzed descriptively and analytically, considering a significance level of 5% (p<0.05).
resultsThere was a significant difference between the groups in the total score and in the APDQ domains, indicating that the instrument can differentiate between children with and without neurodevelopmental disorders. In the attention domain, there was a significant difference between ADHDG and HCDG, distinguishing the performance between these groups. In terms of outcomes, the APDQ was able to differentiate between the groups, classifying the majority of CG individuals as "normal listening", and those from HCDG and ADHDG as being at risk of "language, learning and listening difficulties".
conclusionThe use of the APDQ was effective in distinguishing the different neurodevelopmental conditions. The attention domain stood out, which enabled to differentiate between HCDG and ADHDG.
