Independent and Interactive Impacts of Prenatal Exposure to Legal Substances and Childhood Trauma on Emotion Processing in Pre-Adolescents: Preliminary Findings From the ABCD Study.
Article in JAACAP open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: This paper investigated the effects of prenatal drug exposure (PDE), childhood trauma (CT), and their interactions on the neurobiological markers for emotion processing. Method: Here, in a non-clinical sample of pre-adolescents (9-10 years of age) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (N = 6,146), we investigate the impact of PDE to commonly used substances (ie, alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana), CT, and their interaction on emotion processing. From the Emotional N-back functional magnetic resonance imaging task data, we selected 26 regions of interests, previously implicated in emotion processing, and conducted separate linear mixed models (108 total) and accounted for available environmental risk factors. Results: PDE was associated with reductions in response bias related to the processing of fearful compared to happy faces in widespread cortical regions (including the superior frontal and fusiform gyri and the inferior parietal lobule). Reduced response bias in the superior frontal gyrus emerged as PDE driven and was present regardless of CT status, but correlated with several items on the Child Behavior Checklist only in those children with both PDE and CT. The lower response bias of the left inferior parietal lobule, on the other hand, was observed only in children with both PDE and CT, and correlated with internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Conclusion: The study's results support the diathesis-stress model, and suggest that PDE may confer vulnerability to the effects of later CT through altered neurodevelopment. Children experiencing these "double-hit" conditions may represent at-risk individuals who could benefit from early interventions to mitigate the onset of psychopathology. Because of limitations in the way that PDE was reported in the ABCD Study, including lack of severity measures and retrospective reporting, results are not sufficient for making recommendations or dictating policy for pregnant persons. Nevertheless, this study is a necessary first step in examining the interactive effects of prenatal and early-life exposures, as well as many aspects of the sociodemographic and psychological environment.
