Functional brain changes related to adverse childhood experiences and the presence of psychopathology.
Article in Discover mental health, 2025. 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
Research suggests that associated changes in brain function may underlie the vulnerabilities for psychopathology following adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). In addition to the ACEs themselves, the development of trauma symptoms following ACEs may also contribute to psychopathology. The present study investigates how exposure to certain ACEs, specifically child maltreatment, and trauma symptoms both individually and combined, influence the presence of psychopathology in a sample of adolescents. Participants were 52 adolescents between the ages of 12-14 years recruited from New Hanover County Health and Human Services (NHC-HHS). Further, this study seeks to identify functional brain changes with electroencephalography (EEG) that may impact psychopathology in youth. While child maltreatment and trauma symptoms were not associated, results indicated that frontal and central EEG alpha power, but not alpha asymmetry, were associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing psychopathology in adolescents, with higher alpha power reflecting lower cortical activation. The results of this study suggest that certain changes in patterns of neural activity may be candidates for psychopathology prevention in adolescents.
