Echoes of childhood trauma: the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, brain structure, and mental health in aging adults.

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
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with persistent mental health risks and brain structural differences across adulthood, yet their long-term neurobiological relevance in aging populations remains unclear. Given that ACEs are common and societies are aging, understanding how early adversity relates to mental and brain health across the lifespan is an important goal. This preregistered study examined whether ACEs are associated with mental health symptoms in mid- to late adulthood, and whether regional brain structure may account for part of this relationship. Cross-sectional data of the Hamburg City Health Study were used, involving participants aged 46-78 years with available magnetic resonance imaging data (N
