Childhood Family Support as a Protective Factor for Adult Mental Health: Does It Hold Under Cumulative Risk?

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
Childhood family support is widely recognized as a protective factor for mental health, yet it remains unclear whether its buffering role is maintained under conditions of cumulative adversity. This study examined whether perceived childhood family support is associated with adult mental health distress and whether this association varies across levels of childhood adversity and victimization. Data were drawn from a convenience sample of 1571 adults in the United States who completed an online survey assessing childhood family support, adult mental health distress (PHQ-4), childhood victimization, non-victimization adversity, family substance use, and childhood social determinants of health (SDoH) hardship. Ordinary least squares regression models with interaction terms were used to test main and moderating effects. Greater perceived family support was associated with lower adult mental health distress (β = -0.23,
