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: In middle childhood (ages 6-12), children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms often experience emotion dysregulation (ED), anger, and social difficulties, including peer problems and maladaptive conflict resolution. Parenting plays a critical role in shaping emotional development; however, how parenting practices interact with ADHD symptoms to influence ED, anger, and social functioning remains underexplored, particularly across cross-national contexts. This study examined these dynamics using longitudinal data from two population-based cohorts in the UK and Zurich. Methods: Data was drawn from two longitudinal cohorts: the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS; Results: In the MCS, cross-sectionally at age 7, a statistically significant negative interaction was observed, indicating that the association between withdrawn parenting and ED was stronger at lower levels of ADHD symptoms and weakened as ADHD symptoms increased, suggesting that parenting had a greater influence on emotional outcomes when ADHD symptoms were less pronounced. Longitudinally, ADHD symptoms at age 7 amplified the effects of withdrawn parenting at age 5 on peer problems at age 11, highlighting the compounding risk of elevated ADHD symptoms and early parenting challenges on later social functioning. In z-proso, cross-sectionally at age 9, ADHD symptoms did not moderate the effects of positive or negative parenting on anger. Longitudinally, anger at age 9 mediated the association between ADHD symptoms at age 7 and both aggressive and competent conflict coping at age 11, identifying emotional reactivity as a key developmental mechanism linking early ADHD symptoms to later behavioural adjustment. Conclusion: Findings across both cohorts showed that parenting practices and ADHD symptoms interact to influence emotion dysregulation, anger, and social difficulties in middle childhood. Anger emerged as a distinct emotional process, reinforcing its unique role in social challenges. The results highlight the need for culturally sensitive interventions that address both parenting and emotion regulation to improve outcomes for children with ADHD symptoms.
