Identifying Candidate Mediators Linking ADHD Symptoms and Internalising Problems in Adolescence: An Exploratory Longitudinal Mediation Analysis.
Article in Journal of attention disorders, 2026. 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
objectiveADHD and internalising symptoms such as anxiety and depression are known to be associated in adolescence and understanding the mechanisms linking them is important for improving mental health outcomes for adolescents with ADHD symptoms. Our objective was to examine these mechanisms.
methodIn this study, we leverage a high-quality longitudinal dataset, the Millennium Cohort Study (
resultsRegularisation with lasso did not result in the de-selection of any of these mediators; however, only two were statistically significant.
conclusionResults suggest there may be many mediators of small effect involved in the relation between ADHD symptoms and later internalising problems but point to self-esteem and parental mental health as priority mechanisms for further study in future causal and interventional research.
