Using latent class analysis to empirically classify maltreatment according to the developmental timing, duration, and co-occurrence of abuse types.
Article in Child abuse & neglect, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundIndividuals can have vastly different maltreatment experiences depending on the types, developmental timing, and duration of abuse. Women and men may be differentially affected by distinct abuse patterns.
objectiveTo examine whether maltreatment subgroups could be identified based on the types, developmental timing, and duration of abuse, and to determine their prevalence among a large, community-based sample. We also examined sex differences in associations of maltreatment subgroups with adverse health outcomes. PARTICIPANTS AND
settingData came from 9310 women and men (95 % White) in the United States who responded to the Growing Up Today Study questionnaire in 2007 (aged 19-27 years).
methodsParticipants reported on physical, sexual, and emotional abuse occurring in childhood (before age 11 years) and adolescence (ages 11-17 years). We conducted latent class (LC) analyses using indicators for child and adolescent abuse. We examined associations of LCs with health outcomes using sex-stratified log-binomial models with generalized estimated equations.
resultsWe identified five LCs characterized by: 1) no/low abuse (59 %), 2) child physical abuse (16 %), 3) adolescent emotional abuse (9%), 4) child and adolescent physical and emotional abuse (16 %), and 5) child and adolescent sexual abuse (1%). LCs were uniquely associated adult health outcomes among both women and men. Associations of LCs with eating disorder behaviors appeared stronger for men than women.
conclusionsIndividuals experience distinct patterns of maltreatment based on the types, developmental timing, and duration of abuse. These patterns are uniquely associated with adverse health outcomes in adulthood, and can be identified using LCA.
