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
backgroundAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been linked to atypical sensory processing and altered multisensory integration, yet sensory dominance under audiovisual competition has not been characterized in adults. We therefore examined modality prioritization in adults with ADHD using the Colavita visual dominance paradigm.
methodsTwenty-six adults with ADHD and 18 controls completed a two-choice Colavita task comprising auditory-only (A), visual-only (V), and simultaneous audiovisual trials (AV). Reaction times (RT) and intraindividual RT variability were analyzed with linear mixed-effects models including Group, Condition, their interaction, age, and sex. Visual dominance on AV trials (proportion of visual responses) was analyzed using bias-reduced logistic regression with age and sex covariates, with false discovery rate correction applied.
resultsAdults with ADHD exhibited significantly reduced visual dominance on AV trials (43.4% [40.1-46.7]) relative to controls (68.8% [64.9-72.4]; OR = 0.35, 95% CI [0.28, 0.44], q < 0.001). RTs were slower in ADHD than controls overall, including a significant between-group difference on AV trials. RT variability was higher on AV than unimodal trials in both groups, with a significant Group × Condition interaction but no significant between-group difference within individual conditions.
conclusionAdult ADHD is characterized by attenuated Colavita visual dominance and increased behavioral costs under audiovisual competition, consistent with an auditory-weighted sensory selection profile and less efficient top-down regulation during cross-modal conflict.
