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

This study aimed to examine the associations between temperament dimensions and psychiatric diagnoses in adolescents within a clinical sample. Participants were 104 adolescents aged 11–14 years who presented to the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic of a city hospital in Eskişehir, Türkiye. Psychiatric diagnoses were assessed through clinical interviews and the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia–Present and Lifetime Version, DSM-5–Turkish adaptation (K-SADS-PL-DSM-5-T). Temperament traits were measured with the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire–Revised (EATQ-R),while psychiatric symptoms were assessed using the Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI).Statistical analyses were conducted using correlation, regression analyses. Significant differences in temperament dimensions and functional characteristics were observed across diagnostic groups. Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) showed significantly lower levels of effortful control and higher levels of academic impairment compared to adolescents without ADHD. In adolescents with anxiety disorders, higher levels of effortful control and lower affiliativeness were observed, along with significantly lower attention-related and academic impairment scores compared to adolescents without anxiety disorders. Adolescents with depressive disorders exhibited significantly higher perceptual sensitivity and greater social difficulties than their non-depressed peers. Correlation analyses further demonstrated diagnosis-specific associations between temperament dimensions, symptom severity, and functional impairments across groups. These findings highlight that temperament traits are differentially associated with diagnostic profiles, symptom domains, and functional outcomes in adolescents. Considering temperament alongside academic and social functioning may contribute to more individualized clinical assessment and intervention planning in child and adolescent mental health settings.
