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
Background: The present study aimed to find the electroencephalography (EEG) characteristics of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to examine if these EEG indices are associated with insomnia in adult ADHD. Methods: Twenty-six participants were included in the adult ADHD group, and 26 sex-, age-, and education-matched participants formed the control group. Between-group differences in the resting-state EEG indices and the score of insomnia scale were assessed. Correlational analysis between these EEG indices and the score of insomnia scale was conducted. Results: The adult ADHD group had more insomnia problems and showed increased power over 4 frequency bands at electrodes frontal area, Cz, and Pz, except for alpha band at electrode frontal area. Furthermore, some EEG indices, especially over fast frequency bands, are associated with the score of insomnia scale. Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that adult ADHD shows a distinct EEG pattern during the resting state. The correlation between the EEG indices over fast frequency bands in adult ADHD and the score of the insomnia scale may explain the high prevalence of insomnia in adult ADHD.
