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

backgroundResearch on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) often reports lower prevalence among Asian Americans compared to other racial and ethnic groups. However, most studies fail to account for the socioeconomic inequality and cultural heterogeneity in Asian American populations, which may influence the prevalence of ACEs and positive childhood experiences (PCEs).

objectiveThis study compared exposures to ACEs and PCEs among Asian American emerging adults (18-25 years) from three ethnic groups: Asian Indian, Chinese, and Hmong and examined factors associated with disparities in ACEs and PCEs. PARTICIPANTS AND

settingA total of 814 Asian American emerging adults self-identified as Asian Indian, Chinese, or Hmong Americans were recruited online.

methodsParticipants completed online surveys measuring ACEs (Philadelphia ACE Survey), PCEs (Benevolent Childhood Experience scale), and childhood socioeconomic position (CSEP).

resultsOverall, 58.9% of participants reported exposures to four or more ACEs. Hmong participants reported significantly more ACEs and fewer PCEs than Asian Indian participants (ACE score, p < .001; PCE score, p = .005) and Chinese participants (ACE score, p < .001; PCE score, p < .001). CSEP factors accounted for some of the variations in the disparities of ACEs and PCEs among the three ethnic groups.

conclusionsACEs and PCEs were prevalent in this diverse sample of Asian American emerging adults. Significant disparities in ACE and PCE exposures across the three ethnic groups highlight the importance of accounting for Asian ethnicity and CSEP in future studies.
