Effects of an elimination diet and a healthy diet in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: 1-Year prospective follow-up of a two-arm randomized, controlled study (TRACE study).
Article in JCPP advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: An Elimination Diet (ED) or Healthy Diet (HD) may be effective in reducing symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but long-term maintenance effects and feasibility have never been examined. Methods: One-year prospective follow-up of a sample of 165 children (5-12 years) with ADHD randomized (unblinded; 1:1) to 5 weeks treatment with either ED ( Results: At 1 year follow-up, 24% of the participants still complied with the ED and 37% still complied with the HD. In the ED (+CAU) trajectory, fewer participants showed (partial) improvement after 1-year prospective follow-up compared to the HD (+CAU) trajectory (47% vs. 64%, χ Conclusions: In line with the short-term effects, prospective 1-year follow-up outcomes are in favor of treatment with HD and not ED. Initial 5-week treatment with HD and if needed/preferred followed by CAU may reduce psychostimulant use without negatively impacting 1-year outcomes.
