A Pilot Study on Circadian Activity Rhythm in Pediatric Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Article in Clocks & sleep, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A recent study has applied a novel statistical framework (functional linear modeling: FLM) to the study of circadian activity rhythm (CAR) in adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pointing out the absence of the physiological post-lunch dip. The aim of the present study was to apply FLM to explore the features of CAR in pediatric ADHD. To this end, a secondary analysis of previously collected data was carried out. Twenty-four ADHD children (four females, mean age 8.67 ± 1.74) and 107 controls (C, 60 females, mean age 10.25 ± 0.48) were examined. The actigraph model Actiwatch AW64 was used to objectively monitor sleep/wake behavior and CAR. In the original study each participant wore the actigraph on the non-dominant wrist for one week. FLM was applied to examine the differences between groups in CAR. Compared with C, the CAR of ADHD children was distinguished by a higher motor activity during the whole of the daytime and within a reduced time window during the nighttime.
