Real-World Functional Gains in Thai Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A 24-Month Naturalistic Study.
Article in Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 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
Objectives: This study evaluated the 24-month longitudinal trajectories of symptom severity and functional impairment in children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: This longitudinal observational study recruited newly diagnosed children aged 6-12 years from a child and adolescent outpatient clinic. Baseline and subsequent follow-up assessments (6, 12, 18, and 24 months) used the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale-Parent Report to evaluate functional impairment, Thai ADHD Screening Scale to measure ADHD symptoms, and Positive Parenting Questionnaire to assess parenting practices. Comprehensive clinical data capturing treatment compliance, adverse effects, and psychiatric comorbidities were integrated using the Clinical Tracer Plus for ADHD framework. Results: Among 48 participants (median age=8.0 years; 83.8% male), linear mixed-effects model analysis revealed that by 24 months, overall ADHD symptoms, functional impairment (d=-0.79), and school difficulties (d=-1.02) significantly decreased, along with improvements in risky (d=-0.41) and social (d=-0.47) behaviors. Although the family and life skills domains improved, these changes were not significant. The child's self-concept domain remained unchanged. Conclusion: Although treatment effectively mitigates core ADHD symptoms and drives significant functional gains, recovery follows domain-specific trajectories. This variability highlights the need to complement standard symptom management with multidisciplinary interventions. Incorporating targeted psychological support and parent management training is essential for modifying negative self-schemas, supporting family dynamics, and translating clinical stability into sustained real-world autonomy.
