1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim: To evaluate sensory processing in school-aged children born preterm with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), focusing on sensory processing patterns and sensory and behavioral sections of the Sensory Profile-2 (SP-2). Methods: Forty-eight school-aged children born preterm were enrolled. The mean age was 7.9 years, and 62.5% were boys. Participants were divided into an ADHD group ( Results: Thirty-two participants (66.7%) showed overall sensory scores outside the typical range, of whom 28 (87.5%) had ADHD. Non-parametric analyses revealed significantly higher scores in the Sensitivity quadrant, the Auditory section, and the Conduct and Attention behavioral sections among children with ADHD. Conclusion: Children without ADHD showed fewer sensory processing difficulties than those with ADHD, suggesting that ADHD may be associated with more pronounced sensory processing difficulties among children born preterm.
