Associations between resting brain activity and socioemotional skills across the first 2 years of life.
Article in Developmental psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Identifying and quantifying early markers of socioemotional skills, particularly within the first few years of life, remains a challenge in developmental research. This study examines whether infant resting electroencephalography (theta, alpha, beta, gamma, as well as the theta-beta ratio) at 1 month of age prospectively predicts socioemotional behavioral problems at 12 and 24 months. Data from 185 sociodemographically diverse mother-infant dyads (53.51% female; 38.92% White; 44.32% Hispanic) were included in the analysis. Results indicated that whole-brain resting brain function at 1 month of age did not significantly predict socioemotional behavioral problems at 12 months of age; however, higher whole-brain relative theta and lower whole-brain relative alpha at 1 month significantly predicted more socioemotional behavioral problems by 24 months of age. Exploratory analyses examining regional brain activity are also presented. Together, these findings suggest that resting brain activity at 1 month of age may be an early indicator of later socioemotional behavioral problems in a diverse, nonclinical sample.
