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

rationaleA range of family and neighbourhood indicators of socioeconomic status and migrant status have been shown to be associated with risk of mental health l problems (MHP) in children. In this study we determined the independent contributions of these indicators.

objectivesThe main objective is to examine independent associations of family and neighbourhood socioeconomic status indicators and migrant status with risk of MHP in children.

methodsWe analyzed data from an anonymous public health survey among 5010 parents/caretakers of children aged 4-12 years living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, gathered in 2018. Outcome of interest was risk of MHP measured using the total difficulties score of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Associations of parent-reported perceived financial difficulties, material deprivation (not being able to provide certain goods, or leisure, educational or cultural activities or care use for children due to financial restrictions), parental educational level, child's migrant status and neighbourhood socioeconomic status with risk of MHP and with the total difficulties score were assessed using multilevel multivariable logistic and linear regression models.

resultsIn total, 473 (9.5%) children had a high risk of MHP. We observed independent associations of perceived financial difficulties, material deprivation and parental educational level with risk of MHP and with an increase in total difficulties score (P < 0.05). Migrant status and neighbourhood socioeconomic status were not independently associated with risk of MHP or a change in total difficulties score.

conclusionsAlready in early life, perceived financial difficulties by parents, material deprivation reported by parents and lower parental education appeared to be independently associated with the risk of MHP in 4-12 year olds. Health professionals should be aware of the relatively higher risks in these subgroups and consider policies address this.
