Adverse childhood experiences and 10-year depressive-symptoms trajectories among middle-aged and older adults in China: a population-based cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) influence depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were heterogeneous from the perspective of life course. Objective: To explore the effects of ACEs on the trajectory of depressive symptoms in China. Participants: The data is from the 5 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and the 2014 Life Course Survey of it. A total of 17,106 individuals were included, without the people younger than 45 years. Methods: We dealt with the missing values using multiple interpolation. The CESD-10 and a 12-item questionnaire was used to assess the depressive symptom and ACEs, respectively. We used group-based trajectory modelling (GBTM) to identify the 10-year depressive-symptoms. Logistic regression models were used to explore associations between the trajectory and the ACEs. Results: Five depressive-symptom trajectories were identified based on the GBTM analysis (BIC = 540533.61; AIC = 540347.68; Conclusion: The 10-year depressive-symptoms trajectories among middle-aged and older adults in China were different from previous features. The significance of a life-course intervention plan to prevent childhood adversity and the related mental health damage in later life is demonstrated by the long-term influence of ACEs on depressive symptoms.
