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

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in children. In this study, the association between 10-repeats in the DAT1 gene and the (GT)n repeat in the DBH gene and ADHD was examined in children from Jordan. In addition, the levels of dopamine-β-hydroxylase enzyme activity in the plasma of ADHD children were evaluated. Fifty children with ADHD and 50 age- and gender-matched control subjects were recruited. The results showed significant differences between the ADHD group and controls with respect to the plasma levels of dopamine-β-hydroxylase enzyme activity (25.4±2.3 vs. 84.7±5.0 μmol/min; p<0.01). Moreover, the 10-repeat DAT1 gene and (GT)n DBH gene polymorphisms were significantly associated with ADHD development (p<0.05). In conclusion, the DBH and DAT1 genes appear to play a role in the development of ADHD in the Jordanian population.
