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

objectiveThis study aims to analyze the characteristics of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and evaluate specific vestibular nerve pathway impairments in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) compared to typically developing (TD) children.

methodsForty-five children with ADHD and 34 TD children were recruited. All participants underwent comprehensive acoustic (ACS) and galvanic (GVS) VEMP examinations. To account for within-subject correlation, statistical analyses were performed at the subject level.

resultsChildren with ADHD exhibited prolonged P13 and N23 latencies in both ACS-cVEMP and GVS-cVEMP compared to TD children. For oVEMP, the N1 latency of ACS-oVEMP was significantly shorter in the ADHD group, and the interval was prolonged. Additionally, the absolute amplitude of ACS-cVEMP was significantly and markedly higher in children with ADHD.

conclusionsChildren with ADHD exhibit functional abnormalities in both the saccule inferior vestibular nerve pathway (reflected by cVEMP) and the utricle superior vestibular nerve pathway (reflected by oVEMP). These impairments are primarily characterized by altered neural conduction latencies and hyperactive amplitude responses, providing valuable electrophysiological insights into vestibular dysfunction in ADHD.
