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

In the past 20 years, childhood trauma has often been measured by the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) scale. This cumulative risk scale asks whether 10 specific adverse experiences occurred before the age of 18, with higher scores indicating higher risk of negative biopsychosocial outcomes in adulthood. Although valuable, this binary approach may not provide rich enough information to identify those at risk for negative health and psychological outcomes. In this study, we developed a scale measuring the magnitude of adverse childhood experiences as well as a scale measuring the perceived impact of adverse childhood experiences. We compared these scales with the traditional ACEs scale to determine which of the three was most closely correlated with general health, self-esteem, aggressive behavior, social pain, social support, post-traumatic stress disorder, and loneliness. The first study population was drawn from a snowball community sample of 208 participants with an average ACE score of 3.83 (
