How do the neurocognitive profiles of FASD and complex trauma compare in the pediatric population?: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of this scoping review is to compare the neurocognitive profiles of children and youth diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) to those of children and youth diagnosed with complex trauma.
introductionThe neurocognitive challenges resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) have been defined by the FASD diagnosis. Complex trauma exposure, in the form of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), is associated with similar neurocognitive deficits. Recent evidence suggests ACE exposures to be higher in individuals with FASD as compared to non-FASD controls which warrants a closer look at the overlap between the neurocognitive deficits associated with FASD and complex trauma. A more robust understanding comparing the neurocognitive profiles of FASD and complex trauma can guide assessment, diagnosis, and interventions to support the long-term management of youth with cognitive impairments. INCLUSION CRITERIA: The review will assess various studies that evaluate the neurocognitive profiles of FASD and complex trauma amongst the pediatric population (aged 0-18). Complex trauma will be defined as multiple interpersonal traumatic events that happen in childhood. The context of this review is pediatric patients diagnosed with FASD or exposed to complex trauma.
methodsWe will search MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Scopus and Google Scholar. Additionally, will conduct backwards and forwards citation searching of all included sources. Title and abstract screening and full-text review will be performed by at least two independent reviewers. Data extraction will be performed using a tool developed for this review. The results will be presented in a narrative and tabular format.
