The Significance of a Higher Prevalence of ADHD and ADHD Symptoms in Children Who Stutter.

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
purposeResearch suggests that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its symptoms occur more frequently in individuals who stutter. The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence of ADHD diagnoses and ADHD symptoms in children who stutter and examine potential relationships between ADHD and stuttering characteristics.
methodA total of 204 children between the ages of 5 and 18 years (
resultsParents reported that 17.2% of children who stutter in our sample had been diagnosed with ADHD. Over 40% of children without an ADHD diagnosis had ADHD-RS scores that met the criteria for further evaluation. No significant relationship between ADHD symptoms and stuttering severity was found, but child age and inattention scores significantly, albeit modestly, predicted the adverse impact of stuttering.
conclusionsResearchers and clinicians might be privy to a child's ADHD diagnosis, but they should recognize that many children who stutter without an ADHD diagnosis may exhibit elevated symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. These symptoms can complicate both research outcomes and the treatment of stuttering. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.28899620.
