Neuropsychological Assessment of the Relationship of Working Memory with K-BIT Matrices and Vocabulary in Normal Development and ADHD Children and Adolescents.
Article in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe present report tries to understand the possible relationship between working memory (WM) and intelligence measurements, using the direct scores of the Working Memory Test Battery for Children (WMTBC) and Kaufman's Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT), in normal development (ND) and diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children and adolescents.
resultsPartial correlations, discounting the effect of age, showed a significant correlation in ND subjects between the central executive (CE) component of WM and the WM visuospatial sketchpad (VSS) component and the WM phonological loop (PL); also, significant correlations were obtained for the WM VSS with the K-BIT Matrices scores, the WM PL with the K-BIT Vocabulary, and the K-BIT Matrices scores with the K-BIT Vocabulary. For ADHD subjects, there were significant correlations between WM VSS and WM CE, and WM VSS and K-BIT Matrices. We tested the robustness of these correlations by selecting a small number of subjects through permutations; a robust correlation between WM CE and WM PL in ND, and between WM VSS and WM CE and WM VSS and K-BIT Matrices scores was obtained. These results were also supported by mediation analysis.
conclusionsThere is a relationship during development between WM as measured with WMTBC and general intelligence as measured with K-BIT in ND and ADHD subjects. The dysexecutive character of ADHD has been shown, given that by controlling for intelligence, the differences in WM performance between ND and ADHD disappear, except for WM CE. The results suggest that in ADHD subjects, the WM VSS component presents a more pivotal role during cognitive processing compared to ND subjects.
