Association Between Adverse Childhood Experiences at Age 5 Years and Healthcare Utilization at Age 9 Years.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) at age 5 years and healthcare utilization patterns at age 9 years. STUDY
designWe conducted a secondary analysis using longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Caregivers (n = 2521) provided data on their child's ACEs at age 5 years and on 4 types of healthcare utilization at age 9 years: past-year well visits, dental visits, primary care sick visits for injury or illness, and emergency room (ER) visits. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between ACEs at age 5 and each type of healthcare utilization, adjusting for relevant sociodemographic covariates.
resultsAmong the 2521 children (51% male, 48% Non-Hispanic Black), 77% had ≥1 ACE at age 5. Children with ≥4 ACEs had lower odds of a dental visit (aOR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.29-0.91) and higher odds of a primary care sick visit (aOR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.20-2.64) and an ER visit (aOR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.11-2.59) compared with children with no reported ACEs.
conclusionOur findings demonstrate suboptimal healthcare utilization patterns among families with ACEs and indicate a need for targeted interventions that support appropriate healthcare utilization for children who endure adversity.
