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

Twin studies have provided evidence for shared genetic influences between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific reading disabilities (RD), with this overlap being highest for the inattentive symptom dimension of ADHD. Previously, we found evidence for association of the dopamine receptor D1 gene (DRD1) with ADHD, and with the inattentive symptom dimension in particular. This, combined with evidence for working memory (WM) deficits in individuals with RD or ADHD, and the importance of D1 receptors in attentional processes and WM function, suggests that DRD1 may be a common genetic influence underlying both disorders. Here, in a study of 232 families ascertained through probands with reading problems, we tested for association of the DRD1 gene with RD, as a categorical trait, and with quantitative measures of key reading component skills, WM ability, and inattentive symptoms. Although no associations were found with RD, or with reading component skills or verbal WM, we found evidence for association with inattentive behaviour. Specifically, DRD1 Haplotype 3, the haplotype previously found to be associated with inattentive symptoms in ADHD, is also associated with parent- and teacher-reported symptoms of inattention in this sample selected for reading problems (P=0.023 and 0.004, respectively). Together, the replicated finding of Haplotype 3 association with inattentive symptoms in two independent study samples strongly supports a role for DRD1 in attentional ability. Furthermore, the association of DRD1 with inattention, but not with RD, or the other reading and reading-related phenotypes analysed, suggests that DRD1 contributes uniquely to inattention, without overlap for reading ability.
