Efficacy and Safety of SPN-812 (Extended-Release Viloxazine) in Children and Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSPN-812 has been approved for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment in children and adolescents.
objectiveWe aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of different doses of SPN-812 for ADHD pediatric patients of different ages, verify its clinical efficacy, and evaluate its safety.
methodsUp until 30 August 2023, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched in EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov to evaluate different doses of SPN-812 and a placebo.
resultsWe pooled 1619 patients from five RCTs with a duration of 6-8 weeks. Patients (6-17 years old) in SPN-812 (100, 200, and 400 mg/d) groups were superior to the control group in all efficacy outcomes with lower attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder rating scale-5 (ADHD-RS-5), Conners 3-parent short form composite T score (Conners 3-PS), Weiss functional impairment rating scale-parent (WFIRS-P), and increased clinical global impression-improvement (CGI-I) score (both
conclusionAt present, SPN-812 (100, 200, and 400 mg/d) is superior to the corresponding control in efficacy measures. However, the safety problem cannot be ignored.
