Association Between Neighborhood Opportunity, Cognitive Function, and Brain Structure in Youths.
Article in Biological psychiatry global open science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: Access to essential neighborhood opportunities (e.g., quality education, nutritious foods, clean air) is critical for development, but the influence of these factors on neurocognition remains unclear. Leveraging the ABCD (Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development) Study, we examined associations between neighborhood opportunity, cognitive function, and brain structure. Methods: Participants were 10,463 (ages 9-10 years) children. Neighborhood opportunity was measured by the Child Opportunity Index (COI 2.0), which assesses educational, health/environmental, and social/economic opportunities. Cognitive function was measured via the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery, and T1-weighted imaging provided brain structural measures. Results: Youths living in higher-opportunity neighborhoods exhibited better performance across all cognitive measures (β = 0.11-0.37, Conclusions: Neighborhood opportunity is a critical factor that shapes neurocognitive development, beyond effects of household-level indicators and neighborhood deprivation. The findings highlight the importance of using an asset-based approach to understand how multiple neighborhood resources may foster neurocognitive development and advance health equity for youth.
