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

Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events occurring during childhood that can affect adulthood health and wellness, including preparedness for disasters. This study aimed to understand how ACEs, personality traits, personal resilience, and healthcare provider discussions of preparedness affect household emergency preparedness to inform interventions for individuals with a history of ACEs. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted through an internet-based survey of 311 US adults using six evidence-based instruments: ACEs Questionnaire, Big Five Inventory, Chapman University Survey on American Fears, Grit-S, Brief Resilient Coping Scale, and the Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument. Results: Although most participants had experienced at least one ACE, there was no significant relationship between ACEs and disaster preparedness. Income, confidence in preparedness, and emotional reactivity were more predictive. Conclusion: Findings can guide the development of tailored community interventions and policies to improve disaster preparedness among individuals with a history of childhood trauma.
