Why do attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder and/or autism traits place adolescents at risk for depression? Protocol for a longitudinal comparison of the mediating role of emotion regulation deficits versus emotional burden.
Article in JCPP advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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: Depression levels increase dramatically during adolescence in the general population. This effect is exacerbated in adolescents with a diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, or both. Here we detail the protocol for the Methods: A sample of 600 adolescents aged 11-16 years, enriched for the presence of autism and ADHD diagnosed cases, and their parent/guardian will be recruited via schools, local NHS (South London and Maudsley) and ADHD and autism charities. Measures of ADHD, autism and depression, ERD, EB, self-esteem, rumination, resilience and alexithymia will be completed at baseline, 6 months and/or 12 months by parents and/or participants. Background factors such as age, sex, cognitive abilities and socioeconomic status as well as service use and medication status will also be collected. Results: The pathways between ADHD/autism and depression, along with their mediators and moderators, will be analysed using structural equation modelling. Conclusion: The findings from MEMO will feed into the other studies within the RE-STAR programme to support the development of an intervention to reduce ADHD and/or autism-related depression risk in adolescence.
