Financial Fraud Victimization Among Young Adults in Taiwan: Roles of Executive Functioning, Personality Traits, and the Self-Reported Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnosis.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundFinancial fraud victimization can lead to financial devastation and is associated with mental health problems. The current study examined differences in executive function, personality traits, and the rate of a self-reported attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis across varying experiences of financial fraud victimization among young adults in Taiwan.
methodsA total of 1764 young adults participated in this study. The participants reported their experiences with 11 types of financial fraud over the past 5 years. The participants were categorized into the following three groups on the basis of their exposure to financial fraud and whether they lost money: no exposure to fraud, exposure without monetary loss, and exposure with monetary loss. The executive function, personality traits, and the rate of a self-reported ADHD diagnosis were compared among the three groups using multivariate analysis of covariance.
resultsOf the participants, 47.6% had been scammed out of money, 26.9% had experienced fraud without monetary loss, and 25.5% had had no exposure to financial fraud. The participants who had been scammed were more likely to self-report having an ADHD diagnosis and reported worse working memory and inhibition than did the participants in the other groups (all p < 0.001). The participants exposed to fraud without monetary loss reported worse working memory than did those with no exposure (p < 0.001). The participants who had no exposure to fraud scored higher in terms of extraversion (p = 0.010), agreeableness (p < 0.001), conscientiousness (p < 0.001), and openness (p = 0.023) than did those who had been scammed, whereas the participants who had been scammed scored higher in terms of neuroticism than did those with no exposure (p = 0.009).
conclusionDifferences in executive functioning, personality traits, and the rate of a self-reported ADHD diagnosis were observed among the young adults with varying experiences of financial fraud victimization.
