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

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is a public health concern linked to neurodevelopmental disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Prior studies link ETS to ADHD, but gaps remain regarding gender differences, critical exposure windows, and dose-response relationships. This study assessed ETS exposure's association with ADHD-like behaviors in Chinese preschoolers, evaluating overall risk, critical periods, dose-response relationships, and gender differences. Analyzing data from 64,472 preschoolers, ETS exposure (prenatal; infancy, 0-1; and early childhood, 1-3 years) was assessed via parent questionnaires, and ADHD-like behaviors were measured using the Conners' Parent Rating Scale-Revised, with associations examined via logistic regression. ETS-exposed children had a 49% higher ADHD-like behavior risk (AOR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.38-1.62,
