The role of sleep deficiency in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and early adolescent pain outcomes.
Article in JCPP advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Sleep deficiency is common among youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and may contribute towards persistent/recurrent pain (PRP). This study tested the hypotheses that sleep deficiency mediates the effect of ACEs on PRP and moderates the effect of ACEs on PRP exerted through anxiety and depression symptoms. Methods: We used 4 years of Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study® data to test our hypotheses. Annual assessments of sleep duration and quality (from the Sleep Disturbances Scale for Children), pain, anxiety, and depression (from the Child Behavior Checklist) were used to derive our measures. Structural equation modeling and sleep subgroup comparisons estimated effects of early childhood ACEs (measured with parent/youth surveys) on PRP (defined as pain reported for 3 or 4 years) via sleep duration and quality, accounting for effects of anxiety/depression symptoms. Results are presented as standardized adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (adj. OR [95% CI]). Results: Data from 7912 youth were included, nearly one third of whom ( Conclusion: Sleep deficiency may underlie the effect of early ACEs on PRP, though anxiety and depression are likely important to these pathways regardless of sleep. Further investigation into the potentially mechanistic role of sleep deficiency in ACEs/pain associations is warranted.
