Parental mental health during preconception years in association with offspring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): a systematic review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric condition prevalent in both children and adults. With growing awareness of the importance of the preconception period in health, it is essential to understand whether preconception parental mental health and related factors are related to onset of offspring ADHD. This protocol presents the methodology for undertaking a systematic review to investigate associations between parental mental health and/or psychotropic use during the preconception years and offspring ADHD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Peer-reviewed literature will be identified by searching relevant electronic databases including Medline complete, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL; reference lists of eligible articles will be hand searched and grey literature considered. Eligible study designs include population-based and/or clinically based cohort or case-control studies. The primary exposure and outcome of interest is parental history of mental health conditions in the preconception period and offspring ADHD, respectively (ie, according to semistructured interviews/confirmed diagnosis by a relevant health professional or screening instruments). Critical appraisal will be undertaken. A descriptive synthesis will be presented including characteristics of the included studies, critical appraisal scores and a summary of main findings (eg, presented in tables, text and figures). A meta-analysis will be conducted, if possible, and statistical techniques will be employed if heterogeneity is detected. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical permissions are not required for this systematic review since the study will only use published data. Findings from this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal/presented at national and international conferences relevant to the field. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023460379.
