Developmental Psychopathology and the Research Domain Criteria: Friend or Foe?
Article in Journal of clinical child and adolescent psychology : the official journal for the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, American Psychological Association, Division 53. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Developmental psychopathology (DP) is a conceptual approach to the study of the origins and course of individual patterns in the development of psychopathology across the lifespan. The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework aims to study dimensions of neurobiology and behavior to construct a new classification of psychopathology that will advance the understanding and treatment of mental disorders. In this commentary, we describe aspects of overall convergence and divergence between these two approaches. Developmental psychopathology and RDoC overlap, in that they both (a) study the full range of variation from normality to psychopathology, (b) aim to understand the origins and mechanisms underlying psychopathology, (c) use multiple units of analysis to study salient domains of functioning, and (d) emphasize the importance of using reliable and valid measurement. There also are several differences between these perspectives. For example, RDoC is exclusively dimensional, whereas DP studies both continuities and discontinuities. According to RDoC, mental disorders are brain disorders and neurocircuitry is primary, whereas DP asserts that the development of psychopathology results from dynamic transactions among neurobiology, psychology, and social contexts. We conclude by identifying ways to leverage the DP and RDoC perspectives to advance progress in both, particularly regarding research and intervention for children and adolescents.
