Examining the effects of ADHD symptoms and parental involvement on children's academic achievement.
Article in Research in developmental disabilities, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveOur understanding of the role of parental involvement in academic outcomes for children with ADHD is limited, with mixed evidence suggesting a positive association between parental involvement and academic achievement for pediatric ADHD but limited evidence regarding how this varies based on ADHD symptom severity, ADHD symptom domains, or co-occurring ODD symptoms. In this context, the present study aimed to examine the effects of parental involvement, ADHD symptoms, and comorbid ODD on children's overall, reading, and math achievement.
methodA well-characterized clinically-evaluated sample of 162 children recruited through a university-based children's learning/behavioral health clinic and community resources (ages 8-13; 50 girls; 69% Caucasian/Non-Hispanic) were administered standardized academic achievement tests, with parents and teachers completing measures of parental involvement and ADHD symptoms, respectively.
resultsInattention, but not hyperactivity-impulsivity, was associated with lower academic achievement in all tested models (β= -.16 to -.22, all p < .03). Surprisingly, parental involvement had significant negative associations with math and overall academic achievement (β= -.13 to -.26, both p< .05) and did not moderate the relations between ADHD symptoms and academic achievement in any tested model. Comorbid ODD symptoms did not significantly predict academic achievement or interact with parental involvement in any tested model. These findings were robust to control for child IQ, age, sex, SES, anxiety, and depression.
conclusionParental involvement may not serve as a protective factor against academic underachievement for children with clinically elevated ADHD symptoms, and may predict lower rather than higher academic achievement for clinically evaluated children in general.
