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
Objectives: The symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) consist of persistent challenges with lack of attention and/or hyperactivity and impulsiveness. ADHD can have far-reaching and long-lasting effects on every part of an individual's life, influencing various areas such as daily activities, work, social participation, and family life. "Engagement in a life situation" defines participation and encompasses various aspects, including being present and actively engaging. There is increasing evidence that children diagnosed with ADHD have restricted participation compared to their typically developing peers. Little research has focused on the involvement of children with ADHD in their everyday routines and leisure activities. Hence, this study aims to investigate the participation patterns in extracurricular activities among children with and without ADHD. Materials & Methods: The participants included 100 children aged 7-11 years with ADHD and 100 children without ADHD of the same age. They were recruited from multiple clinics and one hospital across Tehran city as a convenient sample. All the participants completed the child symptom inventory (CSI-4) and the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE). The study examined various aspects of participation, including diversity, intensity, enjoyment, place, and partners across 55 activities. The study was conducted online and completed by parents. Results: The two groups showed no statistically significant difference in demographic characteristics (P> 0.05). The results show that children with ADHD had notably lower participation rates in all types and domains of activities, indicating lower intensity (P value<0.001). Conclusion: Based on this study's findings, children between the ages of 7 and 11 with ADHD experience significant limitations in engaging in daily activities compared to their typical peers. According to the results, including extracurricular activities in treatment plans seems particularly significant. Therapists and parents should focus on the child's daily life at home and in therapy sessions and emphasize the inclusion of extracurricular activities in the treatment of children with ADHD.
