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
objectiveAggression is a transdiagnostic indicator of psychopathology and one of the most common reasons for youth mental health referrals. Deficits in executive function are linked to aggression in youth, yet few longitudinal studies exist and fewer examine differential associations between components of executive function (inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility) and subtypes of aggression (reactive and proactive).
methodThis preregistered study investigated longitudinal associations between shared and unique components of executive function and trajectories of reactive and proactive aggression over 18 months in adolescents at high risk for aggression (
resultsTrajectories of reactive and proactive aggression showed an overall decline across informants. Contrary to prediction, associations between executive function and aggression trajectories were specific to youth-reported proactive aggression and only found when examining associations with unique (versus shared) components of executive function. Specifically, lower inhibition was associated with steeper declines in proactive aggression and lower cognitive flexibility was associated with steeper increases in proactive aggression.
conclusionsFindings underscore the importance of examining components of executive function, particularly inhibition and cognitive flexibility, in the development of subtypes of aggression among high-risk youth.
