Differences in patterns of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder medication use in US children.
Article in JCPP advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Understanding attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication patterns is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes. There are limited data on racial, ethnic, gender and socioeconomic treatment differences across longitudinal national samples. Methods: Secondary data analysis of baseline through 3rd-year follow-up (2016-2020) data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD) ( Results: By the 3rd-year follow-up, 13% of children used ADHD medications. Females were more likely to never have received medications compared to males (92% vs. 82%, odds ratio [OR] 2.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.05-2.67, Conclusions: Significant differences exist in ADHD medication use patterns among US children based on sex, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Addressing these differences is essential to ensure equitable access to treatment.
