Increased risk of injury and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and effects of pharmacotherapy: a nationwide longitudinal cohort study in South Korea.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at an increased risk of accidents and injuries, and ADHD medication has been shown to mitigate this risk in these populations. However, the injury risk and the influence of ADHD medication in adults with ADHD remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the injury risk in adults with ADHD and assess the impact of ADHD medication on this risk. Using a nationwide health claims database, we identified 9,417 adult patients with ADHD aged 19-44 years between 2017 and 2018. A retrospective propensity score-matched case-control study was conducted to examine the association between adult ADHD and injury risk across various categories. The effects of two commonly prescribed ADHD medications, methylphenidate and atomoxetine, were evaluated using a Cox proportional hazards model. The results showed that adults with ADHD had an increased risk of sustaining various types of injuries. Methylphenidate demonstrated a protective effect against injury, which persisted after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Similarly, atomoxetine significantly reduced the injury risk. These findings underscore the importance of injury prevention strategies in adults with ADHD and highlight the substantial health benefits of ADHD medications in this population.
