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

Viloxazine extended-release (ER) is a non-stimulant medication approved for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in pediatric and adult populations. While numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated its efficacy in young populations, evidence specific to adolescents remains limited, and even fewer data on adults exist. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of viloxazine ER in adolescents and adults through a qualitative synthesis of all available studies and a meta-analysis of adolescent data. A literature search was conducted in January 2026 using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Eligible studies included RCTs evaluating the efficacy of viloxazine ER in adolescent or adult populations diagnosed with ADHD according to the
