Rethinking Longitudinal Studies of Media Violence and Aggression: A Rejoinder to Lacko et al.'s (2026) Comment.
Article in Aggressive behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lacko et al. responded to the concerns raised in our commentary, providing an opportunity to reflect on broader methodological and theoretical issues in longitudinal research on media violence and aggression. This exchange highlights five lessons for future research: (1) longitudinal studies should place greater emphasis on developmental processes; (2) analytical approaches and the interpretation of findings are important; (3) examining the longitudinal effects of media violence on aggression requires high-quality longitudinal data; (4) greater transparency and openness in both data and analytical methods strengthen the field; and (5) future research should place greater emphasis on understanding when, how, and for whom media violence influences aggression. We hope these lessons will contribute to more rigorous longitudinal research and a deeper understanding of the developmental processes linking media violence and aggression.
