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

Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often struggle with writing composition, possibly due to deficits in executive functions and processing speed. This study examined 518 children with ADHD and 851 controls to assess these effects. Multiple mediation tested whether executive functions (i.e., working memory, inhibition) and processing speed partially mediated the association between inattention and writing composition, controlling for transcription. Results showed inattention negatively predicted writing composition. Executive function accounted for nearly 10%, and processing speed nearly 17%, of the variance in this association. Findings highlight the contributions of executive functions and processing speed to writing difficulties in ADHD.
