Prevalence and risk factors of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in university students: A study from the United Arab Emirates.

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), once considered primarily a childhood condition, is now increasingly recognized as a disorder that persists into adulthood and significantly impacts academic and professional success. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ADHD and identify associated risk factors among university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of six months at Ras Al Khaimah Medical and Health Sciences University, United Arab Emirates. Data were collected through a self-report questionnaire addressing sociodemographic, lifestyle, and family environment factors. ADHD symptoms were assessed using the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale version 1.1, based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition criteria. The study sample included 472 students, with a mean age of 19.9±1.85 years. The overall prevalence of ADHD was 13.6% (n=64). Logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between the mother's smoking status (odds ratio (OR): 2.35; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.949- 5.862,
