Neighborhood socioeconomic contexts mediate the association between adverse childhood experiences and social risk and health outcomes in adulthood.

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
Although childhood adversity's long-term effects on health are well recognized, few studies examine how community-level conditions shape the relationships between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and social risk and health outcomes in adulthood. Understanding these relationships can inform targeted, place-based interventions to improve health and social risk outcomes decades after ACEs exposure. This study explored how neighborhood socioeconomic contexts influence the relationships between childhood adversity and adulthood social risk and health outcomes. Using data from the 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), we analyzed a sample of 18,612 adults, representative of California's adult population. The Karlson-Holm-Breen (KHB) method decomposed childhood adversity's effects into direct and indirect effects mediated by neighborhood socioeconomic contexts in adulthood. Findings indicated higher ACE scores were associated with increased housing and food insecurity, and poorer self-rated health, particularly among individuals with four or more ACEs. The neighborhood socioeconomic context mediated a small but significant portion of the relationship between ACEs and the outcomes. Policy initiatives addressing ACEs should consider the importance of neighborhood contexts in addressing social risk and health outcomes.
