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

aimsThis article provides a bibliometric analysis of the literature on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) related to household dysfunction (parents' substance abuse, physical or mental illness, death, criminality, and divorce/separation) in five Nordic countries. We identify: 1) main patterns and characteristics of the literature on household dysfunction ACEs and child outcomes; 2) highlight research gaps, topics and approaches for future inquiry on these ACEs.

methodsA systematic search for peer-reviewed articles published from 1998 to 2022 in English was conducted in seven databases. Information from the articles was extracted using a coding matrix that included variables related to country, specific household dysfunction ACE(s) occurring before 18 years, child outcome(s), method, data source(s) and whether resilience or protective factors were assessed. Bibliometric analyses were used to summarize the literature patterns.

conclusionsOur findings suggest a notable increase in research on household dysfunction adversities in the Nordic countries over the past two decades, focusing mainly on health-related outcomes. Future research should investigate less represented adversities, functional outcomes and protective factors. Interdisciplinary and new methodological approaches can provide fresh insights into this public health challenge.
