Neural correlates of early adversity among Bangladeshi infants.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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
In this paper we explore the relationship between the Visual Evoked Potential (VEP), a component of the electroencephalogram elicited by visual stimuli, and cognitive functions in children growing up in an urban slum in Bangladesh. VEPs in response to pattern-reversing checkerboards were collected in 6 month-old-infants (n = 91) and 36-month-old children (n = 112). We examine variation in the amplitude and latency of the first positive component, the P1, of the VEP in relation to cognitive scores on the Mullen Scales of Early Learning and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. We also examine whether children's caregiving experiences prior to the neuro-cognitive assessment explain variation in the P1 of the VEP. We find that the P1 amplitude of the VEP is related to concurrent cognitive performance in each respective cohort. We also find that the P1 amplitude at 6 months is prospectively associated with cognitive outcomes at 27 months, and the P1 amplitude at 36 months is prospectively associated with children's IQ at 60 months. We find no associations between caregiving experiences and variation in the P1 of the VEP at 6 months, yet caregiving experience do explain variation in the P1 amplitude at 36 months. Caregiving experiences also explain variation in children's concurrent and prospective cognitive functioning. The VEP may be used as a biomarker to index the neurobiological embedding of early adversity, which in turn may impact children's cognitive functions.
