1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSpeech and language therapy (ST) might moderate the prognosis in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comorbid with speech delay. This study investigated whether ST in children with ADHD is associated with a decreased risk of subsequent psychiatric disorders.

aimTo investigate whether ST in children with ADHD is associated with a decreased risk of subsequent psychiatric disorders.

methodsThe population-based National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan was used. Hazards of subsequent psychiatric disorders were compared between those who received ST and a propensity-score matched comparison group by Cox regression analyses.

resultsOf 11987 children with ADHD identified from the dataset, 2911 (24%) had received ST. The adjusted hazard ratio for any subsequent recorded psychiatric disorder was 0.72 (95% confidence interval: 0.63-0.82) in children who received ST compared to the matched counterparts. This protective association was only statistically significant in the subgroup that received both medication and behavioral interventions.

conclusionST can moderate the effects of integrated early interventions in ADHD children with speech delay.
