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

introductionOur study describes characteristics of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) services, barriers, and needs, reported by a diverse population of primary health care clinicians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in the United States.

methodsWe analyzed cross-sectional data from the web-based Fall 2023 DocStyles survey of healthcare clinicians fielded from September 5 to October 12, 2023. The analytic sample included 1,520 clinicians (531 family physicians, 473 internists, 250 pediatricians, 143 nurse practitioners, and 123 physician assistants). We examined provision of ADHD diagnosis and treatment services, barriers to ADHD care, ADHD knowledge, and clinician training preferences.

resultsUnder half of adult (46.0%) and pediatric (42.6%) clinicians offer ADHD diagnostic services in their practices; overall, 31.6% of clinicians offer ADHD behavior treatment services and 69.0% offer ADHD medication treatment services. The most reported barriers to ADHD diagnosis were clinicians' lack of time and comfort; the most reported barriers to medication treatment were side effects, medication shortages, and inability to find effective treatment. For behavior treatment, the most reported barriers were time and effort, cost, and inability to find effective treatment. Overall, only 27.3% of clinicians reported receiving adequate ADHD training in their educational programs, and 53.6% desired more ADHD training.

conclusionsTailored public health efforts to increase clinicians' access to evidence-based information on ADHD care, facilitate clinician connections to networks and partnerships for ADHD consultation and referral, and improve coordinated systems-level enhancements could offer important support for clinicians as they promote lifelong health and well-being for people with ADHD.
