Diverging perspectives on emerging mental health symptoms: Multi-informant discrepancies and their associated determinants across the transition to adolescence in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study.

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: The transition from childhood to adolescence is marked by significant developmental, social, and contextual changes that present practical challenges for the measurement of emerging mental health symptoms. This study explores transdiagnostic symptoms across three core dimensions from the Achenbach system of empirically based assessment brief problem monitor-internalizing, inattention (INA), and externalizing (EXT) (aggressive/rule-breaking behavior)-as well as across reporters (youth, caregiver, teacher), reporter characteristics, and developmental and social contexts. Methods: Four years of longitudinal data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD Results: Discrepancies in youth symptom ratings varied systematically across reporters, youth and caregiver characteristics, and socio-experiential factors. Overall, youth consistently rated their symptoms higher than caregivers and teachers across all domains, with discrepancies widening over time. Reporter discrepancies were greater if the youth was female, non-white, or showed advanced pubertal development. Symptom ratings were higher from caregivers with higher education and depression symptoms. Teachers reported higher symptoms for youth with non-white caregivers, but lower symptoms for youth with immigrant caregivers. Socio-experiential factors show that caregiver reports of youth symptoms were higher than self-reports in contexts of greater caregiver warmth and more prosocial school environments. Self-reports were also higher than both caregivers and teacher reports of youth symptoms when experiencing higher levels of family conflict. Conclusion: When capturing youth symptoms, whom you ask matters. The impact of reporters varies in complex ways, including by features of the reporter, environment, developmental stage, and symptom dimension.
