Emotion Regulation Mediates the Link Between Exposure to Childhood Adversity and Transdiagnostic Symptom Domains in Youth.

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
Objective: Emotion dysregulation is recognized as a transdiagnostic feature common to child psychopathology. This study examined the unique association between emotion regulation difficulties and specific strategies (suppression, reappraisal) with transdiagnostic symptom domains of attention, externalizing, and internalizing problems in youth. This study also tested for the mediating role of emotion regulation between domains of childhood adversity (family conflict and negative life events) and transdiagnostic symptoms. Method: In a sample of 9,057 children aged 12 to 13 years in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development℠ (ABCD) Study (47.21% female), linear mixed-effects models were used to examine the association between emotion regulation difficulties and specific regulation strategies with transdiagnostic symptoms. Follow-up analyses tested replication of findings retrospectively and prospectively. Structural equation modeling was used to test whether emotion regulation mediated the association between childhood adversity (family conflict, negative life events) and symptom severity. The Child Behavior Checklist was used as a continuous measure of symptom severity. Results: Greater severity of emotion dysregulation was associated with severity of each transdiagnostic symptom domain, and these associations were replicated both retrospectively and prospectively. Sex-specific longitudinal patterns emerged for attention and externalizing problems. Emotion regulation difficulties mediated the association between childhood adversity (family conflict, negative life events) and all symptom domains, with strategy-specific patterns emerging only for internalizing problems. Conclusion: These findings have implications for developing targeted interventions to address broad emotion dysregulation as an underlying mechanism of child psychopathology linked to exposure to childhood adversity.
