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
Objective: This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of three interventions for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): exercise alone, exercise combined with pediatric Tuina, and exercise combined with both pediatric Tuina and auricular acupressure. Methods: Participants were recruited from one senior kindergarten and two primary schools in Weifang City, Shandong Province, between December 2023 and June 2024. The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale, 4th Revision (SNAP-IV) was used to assess symptoms. A total of 120 children aged 5-12 years diagnosed with ADHD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) were selected. Using SPSS 26.0 software, a randomization list was generated, and the children were randomly assigned to three groups ( Results: Generalized estimating equations revealed no significant main effect of group ( Conclusion: All three interventions are effective in treating childhood ADHD. Compared with exercise alone, the exercise combined with pediatric Tuina and auricular acupressure intervention was associated with a greater reduction in SNAP-IV scores at 6 months and a higher clinical control rate; however, no statistically significant difference was observed between the exercise combined with pediatric Tuina intervention and exercise alone at 6 months.
