1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Children who show difficult temperament are at risk of peer victimisation, which in turn associates with numerous negative outcomes later in life. We used network analysis to examine whether specific aspects of difficult temperament contributed to these associations, and whether the links were moderated by variations in genetic liability for ADHD, schizophrenia, and depression. Methods: In 3354 mother-child dyads (51.8% female), we examined in three steps: (i) the network structure of difficult temperament as indexed by Results: Indicators of difficult temperament formed a coherent network that was associated with peer victimisation. Regarding PRS moderation, for those high in PRS (top 10%) for ADHD and schizophrenia, indicators of temperamental Conclusion: The findings highlight specific temperamental behaviours as risk factors for peer victimisation; additionally, children high in PRS for neurodevelopmental disorders may be at especially high-risk for this outcome early in development.
