The intersection between race/ethnicity and adverse childhood experiences and its association with depression.

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
purposeWe assessed the association between number of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depression among adults and explored the association by race/ethnicity.
methodsWe used data from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) among 127,577 adult respondents (≥ 18 years old). The exposure was the number of ACEs classified as zero, one, two-three, and ≥ four. The outcome was a self-reported history of depression diagnosis (yes/no). Weighted multivariable logistic regression models examined the association between ACEs and depression stratified by race/ethnicity. Each model was adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, income, education, marital status, and body mass index.
resultsIn this sample, 36%, 23%, 21%, and 20% reported having experienced zero, one, two-three, and ≥ four ACEs, respectively. Depression was reported by 19% of survey respondents. There was a significant interaction between the number of ACEs and race/ethnicity, and depression (p = 0.0003), thus, analyses were stratified by race/ethnicity. Respondents who experienced ≥ 4 ACEs had higher odds of reporting depression: non-Hispanic Whites (aOR = 4.07; 95% CI: 3.55, 4.65), non-Hispanic Blacks (aOR = 3.96, 95% CI: 2.68, 5.86), or Hispanics (aOR = 7.73; 95% CI: 4.48, 13.35). Respondents with 2-3 ACEs had higher odds of reporting depression: non-Hispanic Whites (aOR: 2.41, 95% CI. 2.11- 2.76), non-Hispanic Blacks (aOR: 1.94, 95% CI. 1.19- 3.17), and Hispanics (aOR: 2.86, 95% CI. 1.64- 4.98).
conclusionWe found that individuals with two or more ACEs were more likely to report a depression diagnosis, irrespective of race/ethnicity. This finding highlights the need to monitor individuals with an increasing number of ACEs for depression.
