Does Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Predominant Presentation Matter? Examining Functional and Symptom Changes After Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Trial report in Clinical psychology & psychotherapy. 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
backgroundCognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective intervention for adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While both brief (6-session) and standard (12-session) formats show efficacy, it remains unclear whether treatment response differs between distinct ADHD clinical presentations.
methodsThis secondary analysis of a randomized trial included 80 adults with ADHD (57.5% male; mean age = 41.26 ± 9.32 years) allocated to brief or standard CBT. Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed at baseline, posttreatment, as well as 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Linear mixed-effects models and the Reliable Change Index (RCI) evaluated interactions between time, treatment format and ADHD presentation (inattentive vs. combined).
resultsCBT yielded significant improvements across all domains, with 94.5% of participants achieving reliable symptomatic improvement. A significant time × presentation interaction (p = 0.001, ηp
conclusionsCBT is highly effective and durable across ADHD presentations and formats. Although the combined presentation exhibited a more pronounced reduction in core symptoms, this differential trajectory represents a promising clinical trend requiring cautious interpretation. While brief formats efficiently address core symptoms, standard programs may better optimize long-term functional recovery.
