Childhood adversities and depressive symptoms in women: a population-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectiveTo investigate the association between exposure to adversities in childhood and the occurrence of depressive symptoms in women in adulthood.
methodEpidemiological, cross-sectional, population-based study with 1100 women from Vitória, Espírito Santo, in 2022. The International Childhood Adversity Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory were used. In the analyses, crude and relative frequencies were calculated, with 95% confidence intervals. In the bivariate analyses, Pearson's chi-square test was applied, and for the analyses of associations with adjustments for confounding variables, logistic regression was used. The analyses were performed using Stata 17.0.
resultsWomen with a childhood history of physical neglect (ORa: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.16-2.16), sexual abuse (ORa: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.03-2.39), and an incarcerated family member (ORa: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.18-3.05) were more likely to experience depressive symptoms in adulthood compared to those who did not have such experiences.
conclusionThe findings reveal how important and necessary it is to invest in intersectoral public policies for the protection of childhood and the tackling of economic inequalities, to minimize adverse events in this important phase of life, since they negatively impact health throughout life.
