Reduced emotion-generated frontolimbic functional connectivity in psychostimulant-free ADHD youth with and without familial risk for bipolar I disorder.
Article in European child & adolescent psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Although youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a family history of bipolar I disorder (BD) are at increased risk for developing BD, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Aberrant ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) and amygdala (AMY) functional connectivity (FC) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of BD. This study compared VLPFC-AMY FC in psychostimulant-free ADHD youth with (high-risk, HR) and without (low-risk, LR) a BD family history, and healthy controls (HCs). Subjects received a magnetic resonance scan while performing a continuous performance task with emotional and neutral distractors. Generalized psychophysiological interaction analysis was used to assess VLPFC-AMY FC in response to unpleasant emotional stimuli and attentional targets. A total of 144 adolescents (46 HC, 50 LR, and 48 HR) were included. In response to unpleasant emotional stimuli, FC between right VLPFC and left AMY differed among groups. HR youth exhibited lower right VLPFC-left AMY FC compared with both LR and HC, and LR youth exhibited lower right VLPFC-left AMY FC compared with HC. There were no group differences in right VLPFC-left AMY FC in response to attentional distractors. ADHD in conjunction with BD family history is associated with blunted emotion-generated right VLPFC-left AMY FC compared with ADHD youth without a BD family history and healthy youth, and may represent a neurobiological feature associated with genetic vulnerability to BD.
