Differences in Motor Competence Between Children and Adolescents With and Without ADHD: Findings from a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

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
Children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are often reported to have motor skill deficits, though findings remain inconsistent across studies. To determine whether motor competence differs significantly between youth with ADHD and their typically developing (TD) peers through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Following PRISMA guidelines, four databases were searched up to May 2025. Studies comparing motor competence in children and adolescents with ADHD and TD using standardized assessments were included. Methodological quality was assessed with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Twenty-five studies involving 2127 participants (985 with ADHD) met inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses revealed that individuals with ADHD had significantly higher odds of motor difficulty based on the 5th percentile criterion (OR = 11.92, 95% CI: 3.79-37.53, I
