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

Introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are two increasingly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), often accompanied by significant daily-life challenges. Animal models play a crucial role in studying these conditions, and recent advances have highlighted the potential of animal models such as mice, rat, zebrafish, Methods: This study comprehensively analyzes ADHD and ASD-related scientific publications from January 1990 to December 2023 using data from the Web of Science (WoS), exploring trends in global research output, impact factors, citation metrics, the predominant use of animal models, the contribution of major countries and funding information. Results: Out of the 10,844 papers from WoS, we curated 5,883 papers and identify mice and rat as the primarily used animal models, and a progressive use of zebrafish, Conclusion: The findings highlight significant advancements and collaborative efforts in ADHD and ASD research over the last three decades, underscoring the importance of international cooperation in addressing these complex neurodevelopmental disorders.
