Ancestral, Pregnancy, and Negative Early-Life Risks Shape Children's Brain (Dis)similarity to Schizophrenia.

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
backgroundFamilial, obstetric, and early-life environmental risks for schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) alter normal cerebral development, leading to the formation of characteristic brain deficit patterns prior to onset of symptoms. We hypothesized that the insidious effects of these risks may increase brain similarity to adult SSD deficit patterns in prepubescent children.
methodsWe used data collected by the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (N = 8940, age = 9.9 ± 0.1 years, 4307/4633 female/male), including 727 (age = 9.9 ± 0.1 years, 351/376 female/male) children with family history of SSD, to evaluate unfavorable cerebral effects of ancestral SSD history, pre/perinatal environment, and negative early-life environment. We used a regional vulnerability index to measure the alignment of a child's cerebral patterns with the adult SSD pattern derived from a large meta-analysis of case-control differences.
resultsIn children with a family history of SSD, the regional vulnerability index captured significantly more variance in ancestral history than traditional whole-brain and regional brain measurements. In children with and without family history of SSD, the regional vulnerability index also captured more variance associated with negative pre/perinatal environment and early-life experiences than traditional brain measurements.
conclusionsIn summary, in a cohort in which most children will not develop SSD, familial, pre/perinatal, and early developmental risks can alter brain patterns in the direction observed in adult patients with SSD. Individual similarity to adult SSD patterns may provide an early biomarker of the effects of genetic and developmental risks on the brain prior to psychotic or prodromal symptom onset.
