Holistic Management of Adult ADHD with a History of Addiction: Emphasis on Low-Addiction-Risk Psychopharmacotherapy.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder generally associated with pediatric patients and in lesser extent with adults. Patients diagnosed with ADHD have a higher likelihood of developing addiction. Consequently, a disorder that frequently co-occurs with ADHD is Substance Use Disorder (SUD). The pharmaceuticals prescribed in the treatment of ADHD are predominantly stimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, which possess a high addiction potential. The objective of this study is to examine the risk of developing substance dependence during stimulant treatment in individuals with ADHD who have a natural predisposition to addiction, with particular emphasis on adult patients with a history of SUD. Our literature review was conducted using research papers from PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, ProQuest and ScienceDirect. The main results from our review are as follows: (i) the majority of studies indicate that the administration of stimulants in the treatment of ADHD does not increase the risk of developing Substance Use Disorder; (ii) stimulants may also be used in the treatment of SUD; (iii) while pharmacotherapy is a crucial part of ADHD treatment, a holistic approach comprising pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy is most effective; (iv) holistic management of ADHD is necessary to improve patients' quality of life to the greatest extent possible.
