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

Though often conflated with face validity, ecological validity refers to the degree that a test or measure predicts real-world behavior/functioning. The current study leveraged two independent samples to provide a critical evaluation of the extent to which clinic-based actigraphy demonstrates ecological validity evidence relative to parent- and teacher-reported hyperactivity ratings. Further, across both samples we evaluated the extent to which the ecological validity evidence for these mechanical measures of hyperactivity varies as a function of the task children are completing while their movement is assessed objectively (low vs. high cognitive demands). Across two independent samples comprising clinically-evaluated children with and without ADHD (
