Childhood Behavioural Problems and Adverse Outcomes in Early Adulthood: a Comparison of Brazilian and British Birth Cohorts.
Article in Journal of developmental and life-course criminology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeExamine associations between childhood behavioural problems with criminal behaviour, emotional disorders, substance use and unemployment in early adulthood in two birth cohorts from a middle- and high-income country.
methodsData were utilised from large, prospective birth cohorts in Brazil (1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort;
resultsIn both cohorts, children with 'conduct problems' (those with increased probability of all five behaviours at age 11), were at higher risk of criminal behaviour, emotional disorders and NEET in adulthood compared to those with 'low problems'. Associations for 'conduct problems' were stronger in Pelotas compared to ALSPAC for hazardous alcohol use [Pelotas: risk ratio = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.14-1.70; ALSPAC: risk ratio = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.57-1.02] and illegal drug use [Pelotas: risk ratio = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.16-1.50; ALSPAC: risk ratio = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.91-1.20], whereas associations for criminal behaviour [Pelotas: risk ratio = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.29-2.86; ALSPAC: risk ratio = 2.75, 95% CI = 2.04-3.73] and NEET [Pelotas: risk ratio = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.13-1.70; ALSPAC: risk ratio = 3.04, 95% CI = 1.99-4.65] were stronger in ALSPAC.
conclusionsChildhood conduct problems were associated with criminal behaviour, emotional disorders and unemployment in adulthood in both Brazil and the UK. Additional associations were found for substance use in Brazil.
