Applications for the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Various interventions are available for managing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including educational strategies and training programs. Recently, there has been a notable increase in the use of programs and apps as innovative tools to assist with ADHD management. This study aims to provide insights into the possibility of app-based therapies as a supplemental tool for ADHD care by analyzing the indicated advantages and supporting data. Methods: This systematic review was conducted until May 4, 2024, in several electronic databases, PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. In addition, we conducted a comprehensive search for relevant grey literature. The studies included trials, quasi-experimental studies, and observational studies on using apps to control ADHD. This includes studies that were published in English. Results: A review of 14 studies investigated the effectiveness of ADHD applications. Several applications monitored symptoms and enhanced cognitive function. Healthcare providers enhanced communication using the AKL-X01 app to monitor and record symptoms. The FOCUS ADHD app was well accepted but did not improve treatment compliance. The Sensory Diet App, known for its user-friendly interface, effectively alleviated symptoms associated with ADHD. BRUSH DJ enhanced dental hygiene and concentration on toothbrushing. Conclusion: Apps can potentially be adjunctive instruments for treating ADHD. Nevertheless, further study is required to validate their effectiveness over a long period and enhance their incorporation into complete treatment strategies for ADHD. Systematic review registration: identifier CRD42024523528 (PROSPERO).
