Adverse childhood experiences in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and their effects on behavior.
Article in Alcohol, clinical & experimental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundChildren with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) have high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are associated with a wide range of health outcomes including difficulty with behavior regulation, an important intervention target. However, the effect of ACEs on different areas of behavior has not been well characterized in children with disabilities. This study describes ACEs in children with FASD and how they impact behavior problems.
methodsA convenience sample of 87 caregivers of children (aged 3 to 12) with FASD participating in an intervention study reported on their children's ACEs using the ACEs Questionnaire and behavior problems on the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI). A theorized three-factor structure of the ECBI (Oppositional Behavior, Attention Problems, and Conduct Problems) was investigated. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlations and linear regression.
resultsOn average, caregivers endorsed 3.10 (SD = 2.99) ACEs experienced by their children. The two most frequently endorsed ACE risk factors were having lived with a household member with a mental health disorder, followed by having lived with a household member with a substance use disorder. Higher total ACEs score significantly predicted a greater overall frequency of child behavior (intensity scale), but not whether the caregiver perceived the behavior to be a problem (problem scale) on the ECBI. No other variable significantly predicted the frequency of children's disruptive behavior. Exploratory regressions indicated that a higher ACEs score significantly predicted greater Conduct Problems. Total ACEs score was not associated with Attention Problems or Oppositional Behavior. DISCUSSION: Children with FASD are at risk for ACEs, and those with higher ACEs had a greater frequency of problem behavior on the ECBI, especially conduct problems. Findings emphasize the need for trauma-informed clinical care for children with FASD and increased accessibility of care. Future research should examine potential mechanisms that underlie the relationship between ACEs and behavior problems to optimally inform interventions.
