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

objectiveThe Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) system is a valuable framework for researchers seeking to understand the mechanisms underlying psychopathology. Although RDoC provides guidance for studying biological and behavioral mechanisms, it offers relatively little direction for incorporating environmental variables into study designs. Consequently, RDoC studies may overlook or ignore environmental context, reducing the likelihood of evaluating possible interactions of biological and environmental processes.

methodThe current review investigated the extent to which studies utilizing the RDoC framework have included environmental factors when evaluating mechanisms of depression in youth.

resultsResults showed that environmental variables have been measured infrequently, with economic instability measured most often (36% of studies). Additionally, studies of youth adverse childhood events, parental psychosocial factors, and social and community context often have been analyzed as substantive variables of interest, whereas economic instability and parent education primarily have been used as covariates, when included at all. Distinct patterns were identified depending on the age group under study, with generally lower rates of inclusion of environmental variables in studies of adolescents as compared to children.

conclusionsWe provide recommendations for how to incorporate environmental context into RDoC studies to further our understanding of the development of depression in youth.
