'Early Life Adversity and Social Cognition in the General Adult Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis'.
Article in Journal of child & adolescent trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Early life adversity (ELA) is associated with diminished social cognition in populations with a neuropsychiatric diagnosis however less is known about general populations. Examining the association between ELA and social cognition in non-clinical populations allows determinants of social cognition to be explored in the absence of psychiatric classifications. The aim of this study was to examine the association between ELA and social cognition in the general adult population. The protocol for this study was preregistered on Prospero (preregistration-ID: CRD42023433358). Four databases and reverse citation searches were performed to identify relevant articles examining the relationship between social cognitive domains and ELA. Fisher's r-to-z transformed correlation coefficients were synthesised using inverse variance weighted random effects modelling to provide a mean effect size estimate, with 95% confidence intervals. The limited number of included studies precluded subgroup, sensitivity and publication bias analysis. 1,314 articles were identified with 20 articles representing 18 study populations meeting the inclusion criteria. There is preliminary evidence that ELA is associated with diminished theory of mind ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40653-025-00724-y.
