Cover Story: Drawing on a well-disputed Cochrane Review from 2015 assessing methylphenidate for children and adolescents with ADHD, this viewpoint examines systematic reviews and meta-analyses published since then. The quality of the evidence is assessed with AMSTAR 2 (a measurement tool to assess the quality of systematic reviews). While there is an excess of systematic reviews and meta-analyses available on this topic, relatively few are of high quality according to AMSTAR 2. Additionally, there is very little mention of adverse effects associated with methylphenidate. While acknowledging that some experience beneficial effects of treatment, this viewpoint discusses the balance between benefits and harms of methylphenidate for children and adolescents with ADHD as well as points out the knowledge gap on long-term treatment effects.
