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

objectiveThe primary aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Wender-Reimherr Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Scale (WRAADDS).

methodThe study included 146 individuals diagnosed with attentiondeficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 86 healthy controls (ADHD group: age=24.46±5.82; control group: age=24.91±2.21). In addition to the WRAADDS, the Adult ADD/ADHD DSM-IV-Based Diagnostic and Assessment Scale, the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were administered.

resultsThe ADHD group showed significantly higher total and subscale scores on the WRAADDS compared to the control group (p <0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the original model demonstrated good fit (χ²=34.392, df=13, p=0.001). Under Factor 1, the dimensions of inattention and disorganization were included, whereas hyperactivity/restlessness, temper, affective lability, emotional overreactivity, and impulsivity were included under Factor 2. In the internal consistency analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.97 for Factor 1 and 0.59 for Factor 2, respectively. The WRAADDS total score showed significant positive correlations with the total scores of other ADHD scales (p <0.01). No significant correlations were found between WRAADDS total score and the anxiety or depression subscales of the HADS (p>0.05).

conclusionThe Turkish version of the WRAADDS is a psychometrically valid and reliable instrument that comprehensively assesses adult ADHD.
