1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundInteraction with the road environment as a pedestrian begins early, increasing during adolescence with growing independence. However, pedestrians face crash risks, particularly those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

methodsThis study compared the road-crossing and sidewalk-walking behaviors of adolescents with and without ADHD in virtual road scenarios. Twenty-one participants with ADHD and 21 adolescents with typical development from 11 to 16 years of age, paired for gender and intelligence participated in the study.

resultsAdolescents with ADHD displayed more unintentional risky behaviors, such as wandering while crossing, looking away, and taking longer to avoid obstacles. However, they also showed positive behaviors, such as checking both sides of the road before crossing. Manifestations of inattention, as observed by parents, were associated with these risky behaviors.

conclusionsOur results extend previous findings, showing that ADHD puts adolescent pedestrians at greater risk in the road context, despite manifesting also potential positive behaviors.
