Executive and Social Functioning in Children and Adolescents With Noonan Syndromes: Cognition and Behavior.

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
Objective: The current study aims to examine executive and social functioning in children and adolescents with Noonan syndromes, which contributes to the understanding of the cognitive and behavioral profile of this population and possible treatment options. Method: A total of 26 children and adolescents with Noonan syndromes (including Noonan syndrome, Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines, and Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair; mean age = 11.92 years, SD = 2.64) and 25 typically developing children and adolescents (mean age = 10.32 years, SD = 2.75) participated in this study. Cognitive and behavioral measures of executive and social functioning of children and adolescents in these groups were compared using multivariate analyses of variance. Moreover, the relationship between executive and social functioning was examined. Results: Results showed significant group differences on working memory and attention, with controls outperforming children and adolescents with Noonan syndromes, even when controlling for crystallized intelligence. At a behavioral level, children and adolescents with Noonan syndromes experienced more executive function problems and more characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorders in daily life than controls, even when controlling for crystallized intelligence. Positive relationships were found between behavioral measures of executive functions and characteristics of autism spectrum disorders. Conclusion: Difficulties in working memory and attention seem to be key cognitive features in children and adolescents with Noonan syndromes. These difficulties occur alongside parental reports of executive function problems, characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorders.
