Understanding Disclosure Decisions in Parents of Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
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, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often make disclosure decisions about their child's ADHD on their behalf. While disclosure can facilitate access to support, it risks stigma. Despite ADHD being one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, little is known about parent's experiences in relating information about their child's ADHD diagnosis or medication use, to others. This study aimed to understand this decision-making process in parents of children with ADHD. Fifteen parents completed semi-structured interviews about their lived experience of making these decisions. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Five themes were organised to follow parents' decision-making process, starting with 'consider who to tell', followed by themes reflecting different disclosure goals: benefit the child, manage stigma, access support, and express identity. Findings highlighted a lack of support for parents through this decision-making process, and the opportunity to develop ways to provide this support in the future.
