Comorbid Developmental Coordination Disorder and ADHD: The Effects on Emotional and Behavioural Problems in Young Children.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Both DCD and ADHD are recognised neurodevelopmental conditions, however, their co-occurrence and subsequent effects remain insufficiently explored. This paper aims to address this gap by examining the relationship between motor proficiency and ADHD symptoms in young children, and elucidating the combined impact on internalising and externalising symptoms. Data from the Coordination and Activity Tracking in CHildren (CATCH) study (n = 532) were analysed. Children aged 6-9years were classified into typically motor developing (TMD; Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2nd Edition [MABC-2] > 16th percentile), at risk for DCD (DCDr; MABC-2 6th ≤ 16th percentile), or with probable DCD (pDCD; MABC-2 < 6th percentile). ADHD symptoms were assessed using the Conners Parent Rating Scale, 3rd Edition, and mental health symptoms assessed with the Child Behaviour Checklist for school-aged children (CBCL). 28% of children with pDCD and 19% of children with DCDr had clinically significant ADHD symptoms. Those with comorbid pDCD and clinically significant ADHD symptoms exhibited significantly elevated CBCL scores compared to those without clinically significant ADHD symptoms. The increased experience of mental health challenges in children with comorbid pDCD and clinically significant ADHD symptoms underscores the importance of universal screening for ADHD and mental health concerns in children with DCD.
