Differentiating Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders From Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Reviewing Diagnostic Guidelines.
Review in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 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
Individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) present a range of neurodevelopmental deficits (e.g., inattention, hyperactivity, and executive dysfunction) which have shown marked overlap with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), making differential diagnosis challenging. While rates of comorbidity are high, evidence has suggested there are important distinctions between neurodevelopmental phenotypes. To understand these distinctions, we evaluated whether proposed neurobehavioral disorder associated with prenatal alcohol exposure (ND-PAE) criteria in the appendix of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) can differentiate FASD from ADHD. We conducted systematic searches across three databases (Medline, PsycINFO, PubMed) to identify studies comparing behavioral and cognitive functioning between FASD, ADHD, and healthy controls (HCs). Outcomes indicated FASD individuals have greater magnitude neurodevelopmental deficits than ADHD; however, no differences were found regarding the pattern of deficit because of methodological limitations, such as low I
