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

This study investigated the added value of using self-identification of neurodivergence next to formal diagnosis in predicting cognitive differences. We collected and analyzed data from neurodivergent and neurotypical employees in a sample of 357 participants in 19 organizations across seven industries. Our results are aligned with previous results that support a systematic information processing tendency in highly gifted and autistic employees and decision impulsiveness in those with ADHD and ADD. Supporting previous findings, our results show different cognitive profiles of dyslexia and dyscalculia. Finally, our results show that self-identified neurodivergence adds to the predictive value of formally diagnosed conditions and that in empirical organizational research, self-identified neurodivergence is sufficient to capture the cognitive differentiation tied to neurodivergence.
