Neglect subtypes in relation to rereport and foster care entry outcomes.
Article in Child abuse & neglect, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere have been mixed findings on whether neglect increases the risk of re-report and foster care entry compared with other child maltreatment types. Studies suggest that child neglect can be broken into subtypes which, in turn, may lead to different child welfare outcomes.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine whether the re-report and foster care entry outcomes varied by child maltreatment type, specifically the subtypes of neglect. PARTICIPANTS AND
settingData were derived from a regional longitudinal study with linked CPS and state-level administrative data. Participants (n = 4867) included children with reports of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and six neglect subtypes. Cox regression models were used to assess the probability of recurrence and foster care entry outcomes.
resultsMost neglect subtypes were more likely to be re-reported than physical abuse and sexual abuse, and physical neglect was more likely to be re-reported than lack of supervision (HR = 1.20). Children reported for physical neglect was more likely to be placed in foster care than children with reports of physical abuse and other subtypes of neglect.
conclusionsThis study provides new insight on whether families with child neglect allegations are at increased risk of re-report or foster care entry outcomes compared with other child maltreatment allegations. Given the significant individual, system, and societal costs of neglect, we hope this study facilitates rigorous investigation of child neglect and the potentially modifiable factors or targets for intervening to prevent the re-report of child maltreatment and foster care entry.
