Evidence for Revising the Adverse Childhood Experiences Screening Tool: a Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of child & adolescent trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
The relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and risky behavior, chronic illness, and premature mortality is well documented. Despite this evidence, screening for ACEs in primary care settings remains limited. Objections to widespread screening include concerns that the original ACE screening tool limited childhood adversities to family and household dysfunction. The purpose of this scoping review is to describe current knowledge for expanding ACEs categories and revising the formatting and scoring of the screening tool. With the assistance of a medical librarian, we used a two-step process to conduct a systematic search in three databases (CINAHL, OVID Medline, PsycINFO). Our aim was to focus on articles that expanded ACE categories and/or revised the scoring or formatting of the ACE tool. Eighteen articles (reporting 19 studies) met criteria. A minimum of two authors extracted the relevant characteristics of the studies independently and conferred to reach agreement. The majority of studies broadened ACEs to include community and systemic categories; three studies revised the formatting or scoring of the ACE tool. Exposure to community violence (ECV) was the most frequently added category (15), followed by economic hardship in childhood (EHC) (13); bullying (10); absence/death of parent or significant others (9); and discrimination (7). This evidence supports the expansion of ACE screening tools for assessment of childhood trauma and timely treatment.
