1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 brain-based correlates of risk for future depression and anxiety severity in youth could improve prevention and treatment efforts. We tested whether connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) based on resting-state functional connectivity (FC) at baseline: (a) predicts future depression and anxiety severity during childhood and (b) generalizes to adolescence. We used two independent, longitudinal datasets including children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and adolescents from the Boston Adolescent Neuroimaging of Depression and Anxiety (BANDA). ABCD included a cohort of 11,875 children ages 9-11 years old, and BANDA enrolled 215 adolescents ages 14-17 years, of which ~70% reported a depressive or anxiety disorder. CPM with internal (within ABCD) and external validation (from ABCD to BANDA) used baseline whole-brain FC to predict depression and anxiety severity at a 1-year follow-up assessment. ABCD-derived functional connections, which we term "Symptoms Network", were validated within BANDA to test model applicability in adolescence, which is a peak period for the emergence of internalizing disorders. Participants with complete data were included from ABCD (n = 3,718, 52.9% girls, ages 10.0 ± 0.6) and BANDA (n = 150, 61.3% girls, ages 15.4 ± 0.9). In ABCD, we found that FC predicted 1-year follow-up symptoms severity (
