Assessment of Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Psychiatry and clinical psychopharmacology, 2021. 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
Background: To assess retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness using optical coherence tomography in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder adults on regular methylphenidate treatment, comparing them to healthy controls. Methods: A total of 33 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder adults and 31 healthy subjects, matched for age, gender, and education (control group), were included in this study. Retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness of both eyes were measured using optical coherence tomography, and symptom severity was evaluated using Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale and Wender Utah Rating Scale. Results: There was no significant difference in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness between the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and control groups ( Conclusion: Findings detected thinner ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer in some quadrants of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder adults, indicating an early disorder in retinal structure development. Whether retinal structures are sensitive attention deficit hyperactivity disorder biomarkers should be supported and investigated in future multimodal studies.
