Mindfulness-based interventions in psychopedagogy for students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): a scoping review.

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: Mindfulness-based interventions have gained increasing relevance as complementary strategies for addressing attentional, behavioral, and emotional difficulties in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to systematically map and analyze the scientific evidence on mindfulness-based interventions in populations with ADHD, focusing on their effects on attention, academic performance, and emotional well-being, as well as on methodological limitations and research gaps. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and the methodological recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searches were performed in Scopus and Web of Science for original and review articles published in English or Spanish. The Population-Concept-Context framework guided the eligibility criteria. After duplicate removal and a structured screening of titles, abstracts, and eligible reports, 64 studies were included. Data were synthesized using descriptive, narrative, bibliometric, and thematic mapping approaches. Results: The evidence indicates that mindfulness-based interventions may improve attentional regulation, executive functioning, academic engagement, emotional control, coping strategies, and psychological well-being among individuals with ADHD or related attentional difficulties. Neurocognitive studies also reported functional changes in brain regions associated with attention and emotional regulation. However, the findings were not consistent across all outcomes, particularly regarding core symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. Important limitations included small sample sizes, heterogeneous intervention protocols, variable methodological quality, adherence difficulties, and limited longitudinal evidence. Discussion: Mindfulness-based interventions represent promising complementary strategies for educational, psychopedagogical, and clinical settings, particularly for supporting attention and emotional self-regulation. Nevertheless, their effectiveness depends on context-sensitive implementation, participant adherence, and appropriate adaptation to the characteristics of ADHD. Future studies should use standardized protocols, larger and more diverse samples, longitudinal designs, and stronger evidence from underrepresented regions, particularly Latin America.
