1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are known to contribute to long-term harmful effects on mental health in young adults. Research has demonstrated that having a chronic medical condition (CMC) can also be conceptualized as being a potentially traumatic experience, and that young adults with a CMC are also at risk for negative adjustment. Emotion dysregulation, or difficulty identifying and regulating one's emotions, is common among individuals with ACEs, and is a predictor of young adult adjustment. Given the mediational link between ACEs, emotion dysregulation, and young adult adjustment, it is likely that emotion dysregulation may demonstrate a similar linkage to adjustment in individuals with a CMC. The current study compared the effects of ACEs and having a CMC on depressive and anxious symptoms, while also examining emotion dysregulation as a possible mediator for both ACEs and CMC on adjustment outcomes, specifically depressive and anxious symptoms. College students (N = 1911) completed online questionnaires that assessed history of ACEs, emotion regulation difficulties, adjustment, and chronic illness status. Path analyses demonstrated a significant correlation between ACEs and depressive and anxious symptoms, as well as having a CMC and depressive and anxious symptoms. Furthermore, emotion dysregulation demonstrated a significant mediation between ACEs and negative adjustment, as well as between having a CMC and negative adjustment. This study highlights the importance of emotion dysregulation in understanding outcomes for individuals with a CMC and/or ACEs.
