Acceptance of virtual reality to promote attention orientation in children: a qualitative study among children with ADHD and neurotypical development.

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
backgroundImmersive Virtual Reality (VR) could be a practical tool for supporting ADHD children in learning to manage their symptoms better. However, VR applications are often addressed to the adolescent/adult population only and few studies have applied VR in children with ADHD.
objectiveTo evaluate the usability and acceptance of a custom-designed VR environment in children with ADHD and with neurotypical development.
methodsNine children aged between 7-11 with ADHD and ten age-matched children with typical development were enrolled and tried the VR environment once. Questionnaires were administered to evaluate technology acceptance and children's satisfaction. Objective data recorded by the VR application and observations from the therapists while supervising children's interactions within the virtual scenario were also taken into account.
resultsNo significant differences emerged among the two groups for any of the investigated variables. Satisfaction with the experience was high in both groups. Children specified that they found the VR application very fun, well-organized, and suitable for use. There was a tendency toward a greater appreciation for the usefulness of the VR application among ADHD children compared with their neurotypical peers.
conclusionsResults suggest that, beyond individual characteristics and ADHD presence, children generally exhibited a positive attitude toward VR technology; the potential for retaining high levels of involvement, which can positively influence motivation and treatment compliance, was highlighted, thus making the proposed VR environment suitable for future clinical use.
