Investigating the Impact of Caregiver Adverse Childhood Experiences Screening and Pediatrician-Led Discussions on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in a Majority-Hispanic Pediatric Primary Care Clinic Setting.
Trial report in Medical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEvidence suggests that screening and provider-led discussions of parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may help identify at-risk families and be linked to positive health outcomes in caregivers and their children. However, the direct effect of ACEs screening and discussions on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has yet to be studied.
objectivesTo determine if screening or provider-led discussions of parental ACEs are associated with inadvertent worsening of PTSD symptoms 1 week after screening. RESEARCH
designData was obtained as part of a cluster randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of ACEs screening and provider-led discussions on child health care utilization outcomes. Baseline surveys were completed before scheduled infant well child checks (WCCs). Providers were randomized into the standard of care or intervention (discussion) conditions. Intervention providers were trained in delivering brief trauma-informed discussions about the impact of ACEs on parenting during WCCs. SUBJECTS: Caregivers in a pediatric primary care clinic serving predominantly Hispanic and low socioeconomically resourced families (N=179, 93% female, 87% Hispanic). MEASURES: The Primary Care PTSD Screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and ACEs screening were completed at baseline. PC-PTSD-5 was repeated 1-week after screening.
resultsMixed-effects ordinal logistic regression analysis of PTSD scores from baseline to 1-week postscreening with the full sample showed no significant effect of time [odds ratio (OR)=1.21, P=0.68], group (OR=1.68, P=0.33), or their interaction (OR=0.48, P=0.21).
conclusionsScreening or brief discussion of ACEs with providers trained in trauma-informed care were not associated with worsening PTSD symptoms.
