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
objectiveThis study investigated the association between childhood family adversity and depression in a cohort of Brazilian adults over three visits.
methodsA total of 12,636 participants from the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil), baseline (2008-2010) and followed up in 2012-2014 and 2017-2019, were included. Five types of family dysfunction and the childhood family dysfunction score (0, 1, and = 2 dysfunctions) were used. The Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised was used to assess depression in visits 1 and 2 or 3. Multinomial logistic regression models estimated crude and adjusted OR and 95%CI.
resultsThe mean age of the sample was 59.6 (SD, 8.8) years, 7.4% presented depression in one visit, and 2.2% presented it in two or three visits. After adjustment, compared to no family dysfunction, mental disorder (OR = 3.91; 95%%CI 2.94-5.21), substance abuse (OR = 2.14; 95%CI 1.65-2.77), and parental separation/divorce (OR = 1.55; 95%CI 1.12-2.15) increased the odds of depression in two or three visits. Exposure to = 2 types of family dysfunction increased the odds of depression in one, and two or three visits in a dose-response gradient.
conclusionExposure to childhood family dysfunction contributes to the occurrence and recurrence of depression in adults. Interventions to prevent dysfunctional family environments and their repercussions on children can reduce the burden of depression.
