ADHD and autism in Neurocognitive Mismatch Theory: distinct neurodevelopmental incompatibilities with the market-based system.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) represent distinct neurodevelopmental conditions with unique profiles, yet they share susceptibility to environmental pressures that may exacerbate cognitive mismatches. This paper argues that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum traits are not fixed neurological disorders but neurodevelopmental variants destabilized by the sociobiological mismatch between evolved human cognition and the pressures of modern market-based civilization. Drawing on evolutionary biology, developmental neuroscience, social epidemiology, and political economy, the paper reframes these conditions as context-contingent outcomes: traits that are biologically conserved due to their adaptive value in ancestral environments but rendered dysfunctional under chronic stress, inequality, overstimulation, environmental toxicity, and cognitive suppression endemic to industrial societies. It synthesizes evidence across prenatal programming, intergenerational stress transmission, pharmaceutical ethics, and neuroplastic adaptation to propose an ecological model in which the environment, not the brain, is the primary source of pathology. This reframing calls for systemic transformation, not individual correction, and provides a foundation for more inclusive, developmentally respectful, and ecologically coherent mental health paradigms.
