Pharmacological management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults.
Article in Australian prescriber, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 common neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterised by inattention, hyperactivity or impulsivity. It affects around 3 to 5% of adults. The main pharmacotherapies for adults with ADHD include psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines (dexamfetamine and lisdexamfetamine), and non-psychostimulants such as atomoxetine. In Australia, the eligibility for subsidy under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme varies depending on whether the patient was diagnosed with ADHD during childhood or adulthood. Individuals prescribed ADHD drugs should be monitored for both physical (e.g. cardiac symptoms, appetite changes, seizures) and psychiatric (e.g. mood disturbances, anxiety, psychosis) adverse effects. While pharmacological treatment is effective for adults with ADHD, it should be integrated into a broader, multidisciplinary approach that also includes nonpharmacological strategies such as psychological therapies and allied health support.
