Adverse childhood experiences affect the health of middle-aged and older people in China: The multiple mediating roles of sleep duration and life satisfaction.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Although a significant amount of literature has examined the association between childhood adversity and adverse health outcomes, which may be affected by sleep duration and life satisfaction. However, this relationship has not been researched in the Chinese population. This study aimed to assess the association between childhood adversity and health outcomes, with sleep duration and life satisfaction as mediators. Methods: A total of 14,693 subjects aged 45 and over from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included. Taking childhood adversity as the independent variable, the health level of middle-aged and older individuals as the dependent variable, and sleep time and satisfaction as the mediating factors, Mplus 8.0 software was used to establish a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the link between childhood adversity and health level and to explore the mediating effect of target mediators between childhood adversity and health level. Results: In this study, childhood adversity was positively associated with depression symptoms, activities of daily living (ADL), and the number of chronic diseases ( Conclusion: Adversity experienced in childhood can affect the health status of middle-aged and older people. By ensuring adequate sleep and improving life satisfaction, health outcomes can be improved, and the negative effects of childhood adversity can be reduced.
