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 neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, with growing evidence suggesting hypoalertness as a contributing factor to its associated cognitive impairments. Despite promising results from behavioral interventions employing external stimuli to improve cognitive function, the underlying neural mechanisms remain inadequately understood. Here, we identify the supramammillary nucleus (SuM) as a critical neural substrate involved in modulating alertness and cognitive deficits associated with ADHD. We show that hypoactivity of SuM neurons correlates with reduced alertness and impaired recognition using a rat ADHD model. We further demonstrate that SuM neurons influence recognition through projections to the dentate gyrus (DG), primarily by facilitating long-term depression (LTD) within this pathway. Importantly, chemogenetic and optogenetic activation of the SuM-DG circuit resulted in significant enhancement of alertness and restoration of cognitive performance in ADHD rats, aligning their cognitive function with that of control animals. These findings elucidate a pivotal role for the SuM-DG pathway in mediating cognitive deficits related to hypoalertness in ADHD, offering mechanistic insights into the efficacy of alertness-enhancing interventions and highlighting novel therapeutic targets for ADHD treatment.
