Association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children aged 4-15 years: A secondary data analysis from the NHANES dataset.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 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
introductionThe association between maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) and the risk of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children remains inconclusive. This study aims to investigate the relationship between MSDP and ADHD in children aged 4-15 years, with a particular focus on sex differences.
methodsThis secondary analysis used cross-sectional data from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), comprising 5548 US children and adolescents aged 4-15 years. Inclusion criteria comprised complete maternal smoking history during pregnancy and parent-reported ADHD diagnosis data. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to assess the association between MSDP and ADHD, with further stratified analyses.
resultsMultivariable logistic regression analysis identified a significant association between MSDP exposure and elevated odds of ADHD (OR=2.11; 95% CI: 1.48-3.00). Sex-stratified analyses revealed that this association was more pronounced in female children (OR=4.18; 95% CI: 2.17-8.03) than in male children (OR=1.64; 95% CI: 1.13-2.38), the interaction between groups was significant (p for interaction <0.01).
conclusionsMSDP showed a statistically significant association with higher ADHD odds, with more pronounced estimates observed in females compared to males.
