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

This study primarily evaluated the effects of vigorous-intensity exercises on working memory and inhibitory control in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Search for eligible studies through four databases, and then proceed with screening. The inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) Children with ADHD; (2) Randomised controlled trial; (3) The intervention group received exercise, while the control group did not perform any exercises as the treatment; (4) Conducted pre- and post-exercise assessments, which include working memory and inhibitory control parameters. Use the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of the selected study. Select standardized mean difference as the appropriate effect scale index, and use Revman 5.4 software to analyze the mean difference. This study was registered in the PROSPERO (CRD42024597510). A total of ten studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were selected for the meta-analysis. The included studies involved 367 males and 159 females, where 273 belonged to the exercise group and 253 from the control group. Participants in the exercise group enhanced working memory [0.37 (0.12, 0.63) p < 0.05, I
