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

Adolescence is a period of rapid neural and behavioral development that often precipitates substance use, substance use disorders (SUDs), and other psychopathology. While externalizing disorders have been closely linked to SUD epidemiologically, the comorbidity of internalizing disorders and SUD is less well understood. Neuroimaging studies can be used to measure structural and functional developments in the brain that mediate the relationship between psychopathology and SUD in adolescence. Externalizing disorders and SUD are both associated with structural and functional changes in the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex in adolescence. The neural mechanisms underlying internalizing disorders and SUD are less clear, but evidence points to involvement of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. We also highlight independent contributions of SUD, which may vary in certain ways by the substances assessed. A deeper understanding of the neural basis of the relationship between psychopathology and SUD will allow for more informed interventions in this critical developmental stage.
