Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences : A Cross-Sectional Study among Inpatients at Ndera Neuropsychiatric Teaching Hospital in Rwanda.
Article in Rwanda journal of medicine and health sciences, 2026. 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
Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are the potentially traumatic events that occurred during childhood. Understanding their magnitude and the way exposure to one type triggers other types of ACEs could lead to more focused psychiatric interventions. Objective: To determine the prevalence of ACEs and explore the associations between household challenges and child maltreatment among inpatients with mental disorders. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used from August to September 2019 at Ndera Neuropsychiatric Teaching Hospital. We informed 176 adult inpatients, 159 consented to have their eligibility examined, and 122 were eligible and then interviewed using the Adverse Childhood Experience International Questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS software version 21. Results: Most of the participants (57%) were men, 61% were in the 20-35 age range, and 67% had attended primary school. Almost everyone (98%) reported at least one ACE. Having separated/divorced or deceased parents was the most common ACE (65%). Child maltreatment was associated with household challenges. Conclusion: The study found a high prevalence of ACEs among psychiatric inpatients. Therefore, the burden associated with the high prevalence of ACEs could be alleviated through interventions targeting ACE preventions.
