Global burden of diseases attributable to childhood sexual abuse and bullying: findings from 1990 to 2019 and predictions to 2035.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeChildhood sexual abuse (CSA) and bullying are serious public health concerns that influence child, adolescent, and adult health. This study aims to provide updated estimate of age- and sex- specific deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with CSA and bullying from 1990 to 2019 at the global, regional, and national levels, and to forecast the global burden of disease attributed to it from 2020 to 2035.
methodsWe used the data for the number of deaths, DALYs, age-standardized rate (per 100,000 population), percentage change, and population attributable fraction (PAF) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) to assess the disease burden attributable to CSA and bullying. We further applied an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model to predict the disease burden for the period 2020 to 2035.
resultsIn 2019, CSA and bullying accounted for 0.02% and 0.28% of global all-cause deaths and DALYs, respectively. The highest deaths rates were observed in men aged 45-49, and women aged 50-54. The highest DALYs rates were observed in men aged 20-24 and women aged 15-19. The highest age-standardized deaths and DALYs rates were observed in the Eastern Europe region (1.222 [95% UI 0.161, 3.013]) and in High-Income North America region (176.613 [95% UI 79.02, 312.064]) per 100,000 people respectively. El Salvador (1.523 [95% UI 0.209, 3.589]) and Greenland (298.014 [95% UI 138.745, 518.086]) per 100,000 people had the highest age-standardized- deaths and DALYs rates, respectively. The highest age-standardized rates of CSA and bullying related deaths and DALYs were observed in high-socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintile. The age-standardized deaths rate attributable to CSA and bullying is projected to decrease in both sexes between 2019 and 2035, whereas the age-standardized DALYs rate is projected to decrease in male and increase in female between 2019 and 2035.
conclusionsCSA and bullying contributed to the global disease burden. Action is needed to develop effective policies. Our study provides policymakers with up-to-date and comprehensive information.
