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: To explore the effects of mindfulness meditation on core attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, family functioning and social functioning in young children. Methods: A convenience sample of 43 children aged 6-9 years who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was recruited at our hospital between 3 June and 3 July 2024. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (22 cases) or a control group (21 cases). The intervention group received family mindfulness meditation combined with medication, whereas the control group received medication alone. Relevant indicators were collected and compared before and after the intervention. Results: Compared with pre-intervention, the intervention group showed significant improvements in: Life Skills and Risk-Taking Activities (Weiss-P Functional Defect Scale); Conduct Problems and Psychosomatic Problems (Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire, PSQ); and Attention-Visual Function (Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test, IVA-CPT). In contrast, the control group only improved significantly in Hyperactivity-Impulsivity (SNAP-IV Scale) and Psychosomatic Problems (PSQ). Post-intervention, the intervention group improved more in PSQ's Conduct Problems and Psychosomatic Problems than the control group. However, the control group had no significant changes in most scale scores vs baseline, except Inattention (SNAP-IV) and Response Control (IVA-CPT).Medication subgroup analysis showed: vs pre-intervention, the intervention group improved significantly in PSQ's Conduct Problems and Psychosomatic Problems (with significant time×group interactions); the control group had no significant changes in these indicators.Additionally, ANCOVA (controlling gender/age) for Weiss-P's Self-Management showed: the intervention group's pre-post score difference was statistically significant, while the control group only had a marginally significant increase. Mixed ANOVA confirmed significant time×group interactions for Weiss-P's Life Skills and Risk-Taking Behavior, PSQ's Conduct Problems, and IVA-CPT's Response Control. Conclusion: Simplified mindfulness meditation improves core ADHD symptoms and family functioning, and concurrent medication may influence its efficacy.
