A Neuropsychological Perspective on ADHD: Quantitative Insights into Working Memory Components.
Article in Annals of neurosciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: One of the primary cognitive impairments in people with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is working memory difficulties. This study investigates the connection between teenage ADHD symptom subtypes and working memory components, including verbal, visuospatial and central executive. Purpose: To examine how specific working memory subcomponents predict ADHD symptoms (inattention and learning problems), and to investigate potential gender differences in working memory performance among adolescents with ADHD. Methods: Fifty children and adolescents (8-16.4 years old) with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD who were receiving treatment and medication in a hospital in Delhi-NCR were assessed. Parents completed the Conners 3 Parent Rating Scale, and adolescents were administered the Digit Span and Letter-Number Sequencing subtests from the WISC-IV and the Bender-Gestalt Test. Statistical analyses included Pearson's correlation, Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Learning problems and inattention as components were negatively associated with working memory. The visuospatial component assessed by the Bender-Gestalt Test had no significant correlation with ADHD components. No significant gender differences in working memory performance were observed. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of targeted cognitive interventions for both genders, emphasising working memory enhancement to reduce ADHD-related impairments. Future studies should use larger and more diverse sample sizes and examine working memory in relation to ADHD severity and comorbid conditions.
