Association between premenstrual syndrome or premenstrual dysphoric disorder and presence of ASD or ADHD among adolescent females: a retrospective study.
Article in Archives of women's mental health, 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
purposeThis retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and the presence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescent females. While PMS and PMDD are well-studied in the general population, limited research exists on their prevalence and impact in adolescent females with ASD or ADHD.
methodsRetrospective data collection was conducted using electronic medical records, covering 290 patients aged 10-19 years. PMS severity, depressive symptoms, and autistic tendencies were assessed using standardized tools, including the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) for depressive symptoms, Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) for autistic tendencies, and a PMDD assessment scale for PMS severity.
resultsThe results revealed a significant association between moderate to severe PMS and ADHD (odds ratio [OR]: 2.43) as well as comorbid ASD + ADHD (OR: 3.27). In contrast, ASD alone did not exhibit a significant link to PMS severity.
conclusionThese findings highlight the heightened vulnerability of females with ADHD or comorbid ASD + ADHD to premenstrual psychological distress, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. The study underscores the need for tailored treatment strategies addressing the unique challenges faced by this population.
