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 examined sources of heterogeneity in antisocial behaviors in a large-scale and nationally representative sample of n = 7655 youth from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study. Separate latent profile analyses were conducted for males and females using indicators of physical aggression, relational aggression, callous-unemotional (CU) traits, and conduct symptom severity. Distinct profiles emerged within each sex. Among females, profiles were primarily differentiated by levels of CU traits, whereas among males, physical aggression played a more central role in distinguishing groups. In both sexes, a higher-risk profile characterized by elevated aggression and/or CU traits was identified alongside a lower-severity marked by minimal conduct problems and aggression. Profiles also differed significantly in overall distress, with the higher-risk male profile demonstrating the greatest distress and the lower-risk female profile the least. Findings highlight meaningful sex-specific configurations of aggression and CU traits and underscore the importance of person-centered, sex-informed approaches to developmental models, assessment, and intervention in youth with antisocial behavior.
