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

Objective: To quantitatively assess nutritional elements using LC-MS/MS, this study examines the correlations between nutritional elements and vitamins and ADHD in children residing in Hubei Province. Additionally, it explores the associations among various monitoring indicators, thereby providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Methods: The study cohort comprised 354 children diagnosed with ADHD and 350 healthy controls, all of whom attended the Child Health Care Department of Hubei Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 2023 and December 2025. Nutritional elements were quantified using ICP-MS, while serum levels of vitamins A and D were measured via LC-MS/MS. Comparative analyses were conducted to identify differences between the groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to evaluate the correlations between these nutritional indicators and ADHD, as well as to identify independent associated factors. Results: The serum concentrations of vitamins A and D were found to be notably lower in the ADHD group compared to the control group ( Conclusion: Vitamin A and vitamin D deficiencies are prevalent among children with ADHD in Hubei Province, and low levels of these vitamins are independently associated with an increased likelihood of ADHD.
