Short Report: Intervention of Reading and Spelling Problems in Children With Co-Occurring Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Dyslexia.
Article in Dyslexia (Chichester, England), 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
Despite the high co-occurrence of dyslexia and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia is undertreated in children with ADHD. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether standard intervention for dyslexia is as effective for children with co-occurring ADHD and dyslexia as for those with dyslexia only. Children with co-occurring ADHD and dyslexia (n = 16), and with dyslexia only (n = 16) received a phonics-based intervention for dyslexia. Reading and spelling skills were tested at the start and at the end of intervention. Bayesian repeated-measures ANOVAs revealed that children in the co-occurring ADHD and dyslexia group had, on average, poorer levels of reading and spelling proficiency at the baseline. Intervention was equally effective in children with ADHD and dyslexia as it was in those with dyslexia only for reading fluency. For spelling, our results suggested stronger gains in the ADHD and dyslexia group than in the dyslexia only group. These results suggest that the effectiveness of intervention for dyslexia was not negatively affected by the presence of co-occurring ADHD.
