Adolescents With ADHD Do Not Take Longer to Recover From Concussion.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The objective of this study was to determine whether adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have prolonged return to school and sports following concussion compared to those without ADHD and whether medication status or concussion history is associated with recovery time. We hypothesized that having ADHD would not be associated with longer recovery time. This prospective observational cohort study, conducted between 2014 and 2019, examined concussion recovery among school sponsored athletics throughout Maine, USA. The sample included 623 adolescents, aged 14-19 years (mean = 16.3, standard deviation = 1.3 years), 43.8% girls, and 90 (14.4%) reported having ADHD. Concussions were identified by certified athletic trainers. We computed days to return to school (full time without accommodations) and days to return to sports (completed return to play protocol) following concussion. Adolescents with ADHD [median days = 7, interquartile range (IQR) = 3-13, range = 0-45] did not take longer than those without ADHD (median days = 7, IQR = 3-13, range = 0-231) to return to school (
