Machine learning for identifying caregiving adversities associated with greatest risk for mental health problems in children.

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
Developmental and experiential heterogeneity associated with caregiving-related early adversities (crEAs) poses a major challenge to identifying replicable, generalizable findings. Here conditional random forests evaluated the importance of unique crEA experiences for estimating risks to mental health in 306 children, 6-12 years of age, with heterogeneous crEA experiences (different forms of caregiver-involved abuse and/or neglect or permanent/substantial parent-child separation). The better that crEAs improved the accuracy of symptom estimates in held-out, never-before-seen children, the more important and generalizable they were considered. Here we show that earlier timing and longer duration of crEAs was especially important for elevated general psychopathology (
