The Circles of Resilience model: exploring how social and structural conditions foster child resilience in the context of ACEs.

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
Introduction: Despite strong evidence linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to poor health, current healthcare interventions lack robust empirical support, underscoring the need for a new framework to build child resilience across healthcare, policy, community, and family systems. Objectives: To introduce and provide preliminary empirical evidence supporting the Circles of Resilience (CoR) model by examining whether social connections and vital conditions buffer pathways linking ACEs, maternal anxiety, and child self-regulation in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving Latino families. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using parent-reported data collected from 2021-2023 at an FQHC in San Diego, California ( Results: Higher ACEs were associated with worse child self-regulation ( Conclusion: Findings provide preliminary support for CoR model pathways. Higher ACEs were associated with poorer child self-regulation, partially mediated by maternal anxiety. Vital conditions were directly associated with child self-regulation, whereas parental social connections were not. However, social connections significantly buffered the ACEs-maternal anxiety association, suggesting a protective effect on caregiver stress. The buffering effect of vital conditions was not significant. If replicated longitudinally, findings may clarify distinct mechanisms through which contextual resources shape resilience in children exposed to early adversity.
