Resting low-frequency EEG correlates of adult ADHD trait symptoms beyond internalizing symptoms in young adults.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 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
Introduction: Intrinsic EEG oscillations provide a non-invasive window into arousal- and attention-related individual differences, but resting low-frequency EEG correlates of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) trait symptoms remain incompletely characterized in non-clinical young adults. Methods: We analyzed eyes-closed resting-state EEG from a cohort of 337 Chinese undergraduates with usable EEG data; the primary analysis included 334 participants. ADHD trait symptoms were assessed dimensionally with a 26-item adult ADHD self-report scale. The prespecified EEG family comprised log posterior-occipital delta power, log posterior delta power, log global delta power, and frontocentral log theta/beta ratio. The primary HC3 regression adjusted for age, sex, trait anxiety, depressive symptoms, and Beck Anxiety Inventory total score, with false-discovery-rate correction across the planned EEG family. Results: Higher ADHD trait symptoms were associated with lower posterior-occipital delta power [β = 0.114, 95% CI (0.199, 0.029), Discussion: Adult ADHD trait symptoms were modestly associated with lower posterior-occipital and broader low-frequency resting EEG power after accounting for internalizing symptoms. The findings support a stable group-level dimensional association within this sample, but not individual-level screening, diagnostic support, risk classification, or causal inference.
