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
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has long been regarded as disparate and mutually exclusive to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-III-R and DSM-IV. However, this idea has become obsolete due to a growing body of evidence suggesting numerous phenotypic and genetic similarities between ADHD and ASD. ASD symptoms or autistic traits in individuals with ADHD have been examined; however, most studies were conducted on children and relied on self- or parent- reports. ASD symptoms assessed with more direct, objective measures, such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) in adults with ADHD, remain understudied. In the present study, we used the ADOS-2 to evaluate ASD symptoms in adults with ADHD who were not clinically diagnosed with ASD. Fifty-six adults (mean age 33.9 years, 35 males, intelligence quotient ≥ 85), who were diagnosed with ADHD based on the DSM-5 criteria, completed Module 4 of the ADOS-2. Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS), and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)-III were also administered to assess self-rated ASD symptoms, ADHD symptoms, and intelligence, respectively. Overall, 23.3% of participants met the ASD diagnostic classification on the ADOS-2. Social reciprocal interaction scores tended to be higher, while restricted and repetitive behavior scores were low. The scoring patterns and possible overlapping and differing phenotypic characteristics of ADHD and ASD are discussed.
