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 meta-analysis aims to identify intervention parameters (e.g., intensity, session time, frequency, and intervention duration) of targeted physical activity (PA) to improve inhibition control (IC) in children and adolescents with ADHD. The systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library. In this meta-analysis we assessed the overall effect of PA interventions and then conducted subgroup meta-analyses and meta-regression to explore potential sources of heterogeneity. Finally, we checked publication biases and performed sensitivity analyses. Sixteen studies (591 participants aged 7-17 years) were included. The result showed that targeted PA interventions improved IC with high heterogeneity (SMD = 0.71, 95% CI [0.30, 1.11], I
