Effectiveness and safety of dexamphetamine sulfate (Attentin
Article in Scandinavian journal of child and adolescent psychiatry and psychology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundRandomized controlled trials have shown that dexamphetamine sulfate (DEX) is efficacious in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents; however, data on the effectiveness and safety of DEX in routine practice are scarce.
objectiveThis study investigated the long-term effectiveness and safety of Attentin
methodsATTENTION was a multicenter, prospective, observational, non-interventional study that enrolled pediatric patients with ADHD (aged 6-17 years) with a clinically inadequate response to previous methylphenidate (MPH) treatment. Patients were assessed at baseline and two follow-up visits after approx. 6 and 12 months of DEX treatment. The primary endpoint was the investigator-rated ADHD rating scale IV (ADHD-RS-IV) total score change from baseline to the first follow-up visit.
resultsThe study enrolled 140 patients (mean age: 11.2 years). Significant reductions in ADHD-RS-IV total scores were observed in the titration phase and were maintained up to the second follow-up visit. The mean ADHD-RS-IV total score change from baseline to the first follow-up visit was -11.9 (27.1 vs. 13.4,
