1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Impulsivity in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) represents a multidimensional construct rather than a unitary trait. This study examined a proposed three-factor model of impulsivity comprising (a) self-reported impulsive behavior (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale), (b) commission errors, and (c) reaction time measures from neuropsychological tests in 654 adults undergoing routine clinical assessment of adult ADHD. Using confirmatory factor analyses on split subsamples, we found consistent support for the proposed three-factor structure, whereas the network analysis favored a two-group conceptualization that separates performance-based from self-report-based measures. Self-reported impulsivity demonstrated the highest severity levels, followed by commission errors, with reaction times being least affected. Demographic and clinical characteristics significantly predicted self-reports and commission error measures but not reaction times. The results emphasize the importance of interpreting self-reports independently of performance-based tests. The coherence between commission errors and reaction time variables across tasks of related constructs suggests that administering multiple tasks may yield redundant information in the clinical assessment of impulsivity.
