1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

It is widely agreed that the DSM-5, the handbook of psychiatric diagnosis, suffers from both high overlap among its putative disorders and high heterogeneity (variability) within each disorder. While these may appear to be opposite problems, in fact both may stem from failure to recognize transdiagnostic dimensions of emotion, cognition, and personality, among others, that inform psychopathology. These fundamental nosological challenges are exemplified in the case of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In ADHD, broad clinical heterogeneity has defied easy clinical prediction of outcomes or clean statistical differentiation of meaningful, biologically informative sub-groups. Progress for ADHD heterogeneity looks promising, however, when we consider dimensions of trait affectivity such as surgency and negative affectivity, their constituent lower order traits such as irritability, and the integrative function of self-regulation. Focusing on developments in the study of temperament traits and ADHD as they relate to emotional dysregulation, several lines of investigation are proving useful. Utilization of selective computational models, biological validators, and longitudinal analyses points toward potential improvements in nosology and clinical assessment in the future by taking temperament traits into account.
