1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Child abuse increases the risk of adult mental health problems. Limited research explores the association of early institutional childhood care in the GDR with experienced childhood abuse and mediates anxiety and depression in adulthood. The sample includes N=1743 individuals born in the GDR (1949-1983). In multi-group path analyses (stratified men/women), we analysed the influence of pre-school care as a predictor and experienced child abuse (CTS) as a mediator variable for anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-9) in adulthood. There are no direct effects of pre-school care on anxiety and depression. Childhood trauma significantly affected current mental health (women β=0.253-0.610; men β=0.092-0.439). Analyses suggest no link between early institutional care and childhood abuse. Considering other contextual factors in childcare is crucial for establishing population-wide prevention strategies for child safety.
