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

ADHD symptoms are frequently reported in parents of children with ADHD, however, their prevalence and association with children's mental health and quality of life (QoL) remain poorly understood. This study examines parental ADHD symptoms and their associations with children's mental health and QoL in the context of a prospective longitudinal study. The sample comprised 448 mothers and 375 fathers of 456 schoolchildren from the EPINED cohort (140 ADHD, 59 subthreshold ADHD symptoms, 257 comparison group). ADHD symptom rates were higher in mothers (18.2%) than in fathers (15.9%) and were significantly more frequent among mothers of children with ADHD (24.8%) compared with mothers in the comparison group (14.7%). Maternal ADHD risk (OR = 8.15) and maternal psychological difficulties (OR = 12.15), were both associated with the persistence of children's emotional problems. Child ADHD diagnosis was associated with conduct problems (OR = 2.62) and their persistence (OR = 6.84). Additionally, maternal ADHD risk was consistently associated with poorer child QoL (β=-7.69). These findings suggest that maternal ADHD symptoms and psychological difficulties are key factors in children's emotional outcomes, highlighting the need for family-focused assessment and intervention strategies.
