Increased Recall of Negative Memories Following Initial Methylphenidate Administration in a 6-Year-Old Boy With ADHD: A Case Report.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and can persist into adolescence and adulthood. Stimulants, particularly methylphenidate and amphetamines, are the first-line treatments for ADHD in children and adolescents. While the potential for stimulants to induce psychosis-like or mania-like symptoms in children has been recognized for decades, there have been no reported cases of increased recall of negative memories associated with methylphenidate. Here, we present a rare case in which an initial dose of 18 mg of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets led to increased recall of negative life events in a 6-year-old child with ADHD. Interestingly, the symptom resolved spontaneously the following day without discontinuing the medication, suggesting that it was an adaptive response rather than a toxic reaction.
