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

introductionChildren with ADHD face significant unmet needs for timely post-diagnostic support in UK NHS services. Nature-based interventions represent a promising under-researched adjunct to conventional treatment. The CONIFAS2 study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of a co-produced, home-based, nature-based intervention embedded in NHS neurodiversity services. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a feasibility randomised controlled trial assessing recruitment, retention, intervention fidelity, data collection and acceptability of both the intervention and trial design. Participants will be children diagnosed with ADHD and their parent/guardian recruited as a dyad from NHS neurodiversity services. Following baseline assessment, dyads will be randomised to either intervention, which consists of structured daily nature-based activities with psychoeducational support, delivered alongside treatment as usual, or treatment as usual only. A mixed methods process evaluation, will refine a programme theory and identify barriers and facilitators to intervention delivery, engagement and implementation in a future definitive trial. A feasibility health economic evaluation will assess the feasibility of collecting resource use, cost and health-related quality of life data to inform a future cost-effectiveness analysis. DISSEMINATION: Findings will inform a future definitive trial and be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and community partners.
