Effects of White Noise on Academic Skills in Children with ADHD and Specific Learning Disorders: New Perspectives for Personalised Rehabilitation and Educational Intervention.
Article in Pediatric reports, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThis study examined whether exposure to white noise improves reading and writing performance in children with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), with and without comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
methodsThirty children aged 8-13 years (mean age = 9.4) with SLD, 12 of whom also had ADHD, were recruited from the Centro di Riabilitazione San Raffaele Pisana (Rome). Each child completed two standardized reading and writing assessments, four weeks apart, under two auditory conditions (with vs. without white noise) in randomized order. The primary outcomes were reading speed and accuracy, while the secondary outcome was writing accuracy.
resultsAmong the 26 completers, white noise significantly improved nonword reading speed and accuracy, showed a trend toward improved passage-reading accuracy, and reduced accuracy in nonword writing. Benefits were different in children with SLD + ADHD compared to those with SLD only.
conclusionsThese findings indicate task-specific effects of white noise and suggest potential applications for targeted educational interventions.
