The Coexistence of Adverse Childhood Experiences, Positive Childhood Experiences, and Parent-reported Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Severity: National Survey of Children's Health.

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
objectiveChildren with higher adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) experience more severe parent-reported attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) help to build resilience and mitigate the impact of ACEs on ADHD. Prior studies have measured the 2 constructs as independent factors, but no research has examined their combined influence on children with ADHD. The first aim was to categorize children with different levels of parent-reported ADHD severity into classes based on shared characteristics of ACE and PCE promoters. The second aim was to examine the relationship between the classes and ADHD severity.
methodsParticipants included children 6 to 17 years with data on the 2019 National Survey of Children's Health ADHD severity questionnaire (n = 19,715; weighted n = 49,149,269). Latent class analysis (LCA) identified subgroups of children experiencing patterns among PCE promoters and ACEs, which were measured as independent variables in an adjusted ordinal regression model to estimate their composite effects on ADHD severity.
resultsUsing LCA, one class belonging to children with low ACEs and high PCE promoters (class 1) and another belonging to children with high ACEs and low PCE promoters (class 2) were identified. Class 2 was 2.2 times more likely to have more severe ADHD (aOR 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-2.6).
conclusionFindings suggest ACEs and PCE promoters do not operate independently; children with high ACEs had low PCE promoters and had more severe parent-reported ADHD. Clinicians should consider actively screening for the presence of ACEs and PCEs in all children, especially those with high ADHD severity, and build strong alliances with families.
