Sex-specific differences in brain activity dynamics of youth with a family history of substance use disorder.
Article in Nature. Mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An individual's risk of substance use disorder (SUD) is shaped by potent biosocial factors. Family history is one of the strongest predictors, yet its impact on the brain before substance exposure remains unclear. Here we apply network control theory to estimate transition energies (TEs)-the input required for the brain to shift between activity patterns-in youth from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study. Family history of SUD was associated with altered TE, expressed as sex-divergent effects across brain scales alongside elevated TE in specific regions in both sexes. Females with a family history showed higher TE in the default mode network, whereas males showed lower TE in dorsal and ventral attention networks. These findings demonstrate sex-specific influences of family history on brain dynamics and underscore the importance of considering sex as a biological variable when studying adolescent neurodevelopment and mechanisms of SUD risk.
