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

backgroundChildhood maltreatment (CM) increases the risk for psychopathology and CM type, severity and timing are considered important modulating factors in this relationship. However, reported associations are heterogeneous and hardly considered vulnerable groups broadly exposed to CM.

methodsWe investigated the association between CM types and timing and psychopathology in formerly out-of-home placed young adults (

resultsGlobal CM measures were stronger predictors of internalizing problems than CM type and timing. Abuse in early childhood was a stronger predictor of externalizing problems compared to global CM measures.

conclusionsConsidering CM type and timing might be valuable to guide maltreatment-informed interventions in therapeutic settings.
