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
objectivesTo evaluate the impact of exercise therapy combined with family intervention on attention and executive function in children diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study involved children diagnosed with ADHD and split them into two groups: the conventional treatment group (n=68) and the behavioural therapy combined with family intervention group (n=72). The intervention group received behavioural therapy combined with family intervention in addition to medication, while the conventional treatment group received medication and health education. Various assessment indicators were used to evaluate attention and executive function, physical activity levels, emotional regulation, social functioning, school performance, parental stress levels, parent-child relationship quality and parental knowledge about ADHD. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the outcomes between the two groups.
resultsPostintervention attention function scores, executive function scores, social functioning and school performance scores were significantly higher in the behavioural therapy combined with family intervention group compared with the conventional treatment group. Postintervention parental stress levels were significantly lower in the intervention group, and parent-child relationship quality and parental knowledge about ADHD were significantly higher compared with the conventional treatment group. Correlation analysis demonstrated a positive relationship between the intervention and postintervention attention and executive functioning, social functioning, school performance and parental outcomes.
conclusionThe findings suggest that exercise therapy combined with family intervention has the potential to improve attention and executive function, social functioning, school performance, parental well-being, and family dynamics in children with ADHD.
