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

Background: Research suggests that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be associated with narrative language (or storytelling) difficulties, and executive functioning is hypothesized to underlie this association. However, the contribution of executive function to the narrative language production of children with ADHD is unclear and understudied. Accordingly, this study examined the association between ADHD and narrative language and whether it was mediated by executive function. Methods: Children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD ( Results: Children with ADHD produced narratives with more ambiguous references ( Conclusions: While ADHD was associated with several central aspects of narrative language production, executive function did not mediate this association. Clinicians working with children with ADHD should be aware of the potential presence of co-occurring narrative language difficulties and that narrative language support may need to target language (e.g., grammar).
