Executive function and neural oscillations in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood-onset neurobiological disorder that often persists into adulthood. Adult ADHD is an important public health concern due to its great social damage and challenges in clinical recognition, resulting in a significant disease burden. Nonetheless, the diagnosis of adult ADHD remains challenging due to the absence of specific symptoms and biological markers. The aims of this systematic review were as follows: (1) To discern whether there were any differences in resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) and event related potential (ERP) between adult ADHD and healthy controls (HCs). (2) To ascertain whether ERP specific manifestations associated with executive function (EF) deficiencies. (3) To conduct an exploration into the mechanisms of specific electrophysiologic alterations. This review was conducted in PubMed-Medline and Web-of-Science from 1971 to August 15th, 2024 to summarize the EEG changes of adult ADHD. We focused on resting-state EEG to report spectral power across different frequency bands and ERPs under different experimental tasks, 68 studies were finally included. When studying the characteristics of resting-state EEG in adult ADHD patients, we observed that theta power exhibits a consistent upward trend. Congruous reduction Pe, P3, and N2 amplitudes during response inhibition tasks, with a further decrease in P3 and N2 amplitudes in sustained attention tasks. These EEG changes may stem from impairments in error detection, cognitive control, and attention allocation, meaning that core EFs are affected in adults with ADHD. Overall, consistent changes in resting-state EEG and ERPs could provide insight for the identification of ADHD in adults.
