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
backgroundAttention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with significant global prevalence, particularly among children. Despite its impact, awareness and knowledge about ADHD among healthcare professionals remain limited in many regions. This study investigates the level of knowledge and awareness of ADHD among medical students in Jordan, aiming to identify gaps in their understanding. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey, we collected and analyzed data to assess participants' knowledge of ADHD symptoms, diagnosis, and management. The findings reveal critical deficiencies in knowledge, highlighting the need for enhanced education on ADHD within medical curricula. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 407 medical students in their clinical years of training at six Jordanian medical schools, between September 2022 and March 2023. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on demographics, knowledge, and awareness based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for ADHD. The questionnaire was pilot-tested and validated (Cronbach's alpha = 0.78).
resultsApproximately 78% of participants displayed good awareness of ADHD (score ≥ 60%). Significant predictors of knowledge included the year of study (
conclusionsThis study highlights the overall good level of ADHD knowledge among Jordanian clinical medical students, demonstrating their preparedness to recognize ADHD as future healthcare providers. However, it also identifies specific gaps, particularly in recognizing ADHD subtypes. These findings emphasize the need for targeted educational interventions to address these gaps, further enhancing students' readiness to identify ADHD effectively in clinical practice.
