Adolescent's anhedonia and association with childhood trauma among Chinese adolescents: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo estimate the level of anhedonia among adolescents and explore the association between anhedonia and childhood trauma (CT).
designA stratified random cluster sample of adolescents participated in a survey, which included three questionnaires: Snaith-Pamilton Pleasure Scale, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire-9.
settingThe study was conducted in 60 classes in 10 primary, middle and high schools in five economically developed cities along the Southeast Coast of China from April to October 2022.
participantsOne thousand seven hundred and forty-five adolescents with ages ranging from 9 to 18 years participated in the study. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES: The primary outcome was the level of anhedonia, CT and depression among adolescents. The association between anhedonia and CT was determined.
resultsThe mean scores of anhedonia, CT and depression were 24.88 (6.18), 36.75 (8.87) and 4.46 (5.36), respectively. Anhedonia scores of boys (24.24±6.12) and girls (25.62±6.16) were different (t=-4.69, p<0.01). After controlling for sex, age, the presence of siblings and depression, CT was associated with adolescent anhedonia. Emotional abuse (β=0.14), emotional neglect (β=0.15) and physical neglect (β=0.10) positively predicted adolescent anhedonia (p<0.01), whereas physical abuse negatively predicted adolescent anhedonia (β=-0.07, p<0.01). Sex had a moderating effect on the relationship between adolescent anhedonia and emotional neglect during childhood, and the negative effect of emotional neglect on adolescent anhedonia in girls was greater than in boys.
conclusionsCT, including emotional abuse, physical abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect, was an independent predictor of adolescents' ability to experience pleasure in daily life. Therefore, awareness of CT should be promoted. Emotional neglect had a more severe effect on anhedonia among girls than among boys, suggesting that emotional neglect should be paid much attention among girls.
