1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Previous studies on the impact of paternal and maternal depression on adolescent depression have shown inconsistent findings, and none have examined the influence of parental depression trajectories on adolescent depression trajectories. This study aims to explore the natural developmental patterns of paternal, maternal, and adolescent depression, as well as the predictive effects of parental depression trajectories on adolescent depression trajectories through a longitudinal survey. Methods: Based on the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), a total of 1,378 adolescents and their parents were ultimately included in the study. The adolescents and their parents underwent up to three waves of assessments, with each wave separated by 2 years, spanning 6 years (from 2016 to 2020). Latent Growth Modeling (LGM) was used to examine the developmental trajectories of paternal, maternal, and adolescent depression, and the predictive effects of parental depression trajectories on adolescent depression trajectories. Results: The results of the Latent Growth Curve Analysis revealed an upward trend in the longitudinal measurement of paternal depression (β = 0.483, Conclusion: Both paternal and maternal depression should be given equal attention. The developmental trajectories of both paternal and maternal depression influence the developmental trajectory of adolescent depression.
