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

introductionChildren with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience difficulties in academic performance, completing classroom tasks, engaging in social and emotional interactions, which can lead to limited participation. These challenges are most evident in everyday environments such as home and school, where children spend much of their time. Given the critical role of the school environment, evaluating participation in this context is essential. The School Participation Questionnaire (SPQ) assesses school participation, and this study aims to adapt the SPQ for Turkish children and investigate its validity and reliability in children with ADHD. PARTICIPANTS AND

methodsThe study included 250 children diagnosed with ADHD (study group) receiving treatment in the occupational therapy department and 100 undiagnosed children (control group). Participants were aged 7-12 years. The SPQ was administered to both groups to assess school participation. Assessments were completed by 12 classroom teachers, each with a minimum of 5 years of professional experience. To evaluate test-retest reliability, 100 children from the ADHD group completed the SPQ again 2 weeks after the first assessment.

resultsThe control group demonstrated significantly higher school participation scores across all SPQ subscales compared with the ADHD group (p < 0.001). Internal consistency of the Turkish SPQ was high, with Cronbach's α values ranging from 0.82 to 0.91 and McDonald's ω values ranging from 0.83 to 0.92 across subscales. Test-retest reliability was strong, with ICC ranging from 0.84 to 0.92. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated acceptable to good discriminative ability across subscales (AUC = 0.705-0.808).

conclusionThe Turkish version of the School Participation Questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing school participation in children with ADHD, offering valuable insights for interventions aimed at improving their school engagement.
