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

objectiveThe role of mind-wandering- periods of internally-directed distractibility - among patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has recently garnered attention, though few studies have assessed mind-wandering using thought probes during a sustained attention to response task (SART) or examined the possible role of cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) symptoms. We examined whether parent- and/or teacher-reported ADHD-inattentive (ADHD-IN) or CDS symptoms were independently associated with probe-caught mind-wandering.

methodsFifty-four children (ages 9-12; 35.2% female) completed a SART with thought probes inquiring about various on- and off-task thoughts, including mind-wandering and distraction. Questionnaires provided information on demographics, medication treatment, and parent- and teacher-reported ADHD-IN and CDS symptoms. Regression models were estimated separately by informant to examine whether ADHD-IN or CDS symptoms were uniquely associated with mind-wandering or distraction frequency during the SART.

resultsHigher teacher-reported CDS ratings, but not ADHD-IN ratings, were uniquely associated with more probe-caught mind-wandering. No significant findings related to parent-reported symptoms or probe-caught distraction were observed.

conclusionsThese preliminary findings add to an emerging body of work pointing to CDS as more consistently or strongly associated than ADHD-IN with mind-wandering. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
