Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised Profiles in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Impact of Comorbid Autistic Traits.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify cognitive differences between children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with and without comorbid autistic traits by using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R).
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated children aged 8-16 years diagnosed with ADHD according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria. Participants were stratified based on their Social Responsiveness Scale scores to assess autistic traits. Exclusion criteria comprised autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and a Full-Scale IQ below 70. Cognitive profiles were assessed using the WISC-R. To control for Type I error across the 12 WISC-R variables, a Bonferroni correction adjusted the statistical significance threshold to P < .004.
resultsThe cohort included 16 children with autistic traits and 20 without. Only the WISC-R Block Design subtest revealed a significant difference, with lower scores observed in the group with autistic traits (P = .003). No significant differences were found in full-Scale, verbal, or performance IQ scores.
conclusionThe significant difference observed exclusively in the Block Design subtest suggests that comorbid autistic traits in children with ADHD may specifically impair visual-spatial and motor-integrated skills. Future studies incorporating objective motor assessments are warranted to further elucidate these cognitive relationships. Cite this article as: Kılıç B, Ünal D.
