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.

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
Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention and hyperactivity. It affects both children and adults, including university students, and is associated with their academic and functional impairments. Aims: This study mainly aims to estimate the prevalence of ADHD among university students and explore its associated factors, including sleeping hygiene, physical activity, dietary habits, and psychological well-being. Design and methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional design among university students at AN-Najah National University in Palestine. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, which included sociodemographic and medical history. Lifestyle was evaluated using the sleeping hygiene index (SHI) for sleeping quality and the international physical activity questionnaire-short form (IPAQ-SF) for physical activity. The Mediterranean diet adherence screener (MEDAS) was used to assess participants' adherence to the Mediterranean diet. For psychological well-being evaluation, the general health questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) was used. While the adult ADHD self-reported scale (ASRS) was utilized for ADHD screening. Results: A total of 402 undergraduates were included in the final analysis. Within the sample, 85.1% were female, and 29.6% were reported to have positive probable ADHD. Univariate analysis revealed that ADHD symptoms were significantly associated with having chronic diseases ( Conclusions: Probable ADHD showed a notable prevalence among university students and is associated with sociodemographic, lifestyle, and mental health factors, underscoring the importance of comprehensive support systems within educational instuitions.
