Cognitive behavioural therapy in groups for medicated adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionCognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, it is still inconsistent whether a combination of CBT would have additive effects in medicated ADHD in adulthood. And if CBT would have additional effects, what kind and which dimension would CBT play a part? This study estimates the efficacy of CBT in stable medicated adult ADHD, using long-term outcomes and multidimensional evaluations. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: It is a two-armed, randomised controlled trial on the superiority of the efficacy of 12 weeks of CBT on medicated adult ADHD. We compare the short-term and long-term outcomes between CBT combined with medication (CBT+M) group and the medication-only (M) group, including ADHD core symptoms, emotional symptoms, executive function, self-esteem, life quality and brain function using functional near-infrared spectroscopy data. Participants are outpatients of the Peking University Sixth Hospital and those recruited online, diagnosed as adult ADHD and with stable medication treatment. We estimate ADHD core symptoms and combined symptoms at baseline (T1) and week 12 (T2), week 24 (T3), week 36 (T4) and week 48 (T5). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This trial has been approved by the Ethics and Clinical Research Committees of Peking University Sixth Hospital and will be performed under the Declaration of Helsinki with the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO). The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and a conference presentation. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR (ChiCTR1900021705).
