Brief Report: Stability of ADHD Symptoms in Early Childhood.

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
objectiveWe evaluated the stability of attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) symptoms from the toddler (24 months of age) to the preschool period (36-64 months of age) in a sample enriched for varied neurodevelopmental risk to ensure a range of ADHD symptoms.
methodParticipants (
resultsSymptoms were moderately stable, with summary score correlations of 0.56-0.60. Total scores were significantly higher at 24 months among those with later concerns for ADHD or diagnoses of autism, and increased in these two groups over time, but decreased in the Comparison group.
conclusionsSymptom measurement at age 2 may be useful for identifying toddlers at higher risk for later behavioral challenges, with implications for early screening. Future work in this area can help delineate boundaries of developmental typicality versus atypicality, evaluate the specificity of early symptom elevations to longer-term outcomes, and identify patterns of symptom stability from the toddler period over time that may aid in identifying children at greatest risk for persistent/increasing challenges.
