\textit{P. Erdős} and \textit{R. Freud} [J. Number Theory 38, 196--205 (1991; Zbl 0731.11008)] proved that if a Sidon set in \([1, N]\) has \(\sim \sqrt N\) elements, that is, near the possible maximum, then it must be fairly uniformly distributed in \([1, N]\). \textit{S. W. Graham} [Proc. Conf. in honor of H. Halberstam, Birkhäuser, Prog. Math. 138, 431--449 (1996; Zbl 0859.11009)] proved an effective version. Here Graham's result is improved. An interesting corollary is that in a Sidon set in \([1, N]\) with \(\sqrt N + O(N^{1/4})\) elements, the length of a gap is at most \(O(N^{3/4})\), which is in this form best possible.
