A Picture is Worth How Many Words? The Impact of Visual Cues on the Story Retelling of Children with and without ADHD.
Article in Research on child and adolescent psychopathology, 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
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) evidence poorer language skills than their neurotypical (NT) peers, including their narrative (storytelling) abilities. Available narrative studies include a circumscribed number of variables, with limited attention to the effect of task demands on performance. We compared the story retelling skills of children with and without ADHD under different memory loads. Ninety-six 8-12-year-old children, 50 meeting DSM-5-TR criteria for ADHD (54.9% boys) and 46 NT children (39.1% boys) completed a story retelling task under two conditions, i.e., with and without visual story cues. The children's stories were coded across a range narrative dimensions, with performance compared across groups and conditions. Children with ADHD produced less complete and coherent stories that included higher rates of dysfluencies and linguistic errors than NT children. Across groups, performance was better in the presence of visual story cues, with larger effects for the ADHD group on some variables. Findings highlight the extent of narrative production difficulties in children with ADHD and the positive effects of visual cues. Given the importance of narrative skills for communication and social interactions, their inclusion in the comprehensive assessment of children with ADHD is recommended.
