Mental Health and Coping in Women With ADHD During the Pandemic.
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
Recent research suggests that women make up a substantial proportion of adults with ADHD, but they are less likely to be identified, diagnosed, and adequately treated.
objectiveA diverse group of 307 females (17-30 years of age) was recruited for an online mixed methods study on mental health and coping in women with ADHD.
methodsIn the first phase of the study, data from women reporting low and high levels of ADHD symptoms, including some previously diagnosed with ADHD, were collected. Quantitative results suggest that women with substantial ADHD symptoms experience more difficulty with emotional regulation, more distress, greater loneliness, and they are less resilient and less self-compassionate. To follow up, all women who reported a previous diagnosis of ADHD in the first phase were invited to participate in interviews exploring how they cope with high stress. A total of 15 women were interviewed.
resultsQualitative results suggest that although participants described engaging with and regulating internal experiences as more effective, they were more likely to use avoidance coping, often thought to be less effective. Further, when participants reported less emotional insight/awareness, they were also less likely to use internally focussed approach strategies.
conclusionThus, the reduced self-awareness that is characteristic of ADHD may represent an additional challenge to effective coping. These results underline the importance of ongoing research and clinical attention for women with ADHD.
