Assessing measurement bias in substance use disorder criteria associated with childhood adversity and genetic liability.

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
objectiveThe diagnosis and severity of substance use disorders (SUDs) are classified by the number of criteria endorsed. However, environmental and genetic factors may influence criterion endorsement. To evaluate this, we tested for differential item functioning of SUDs criteria by adverse childhood events (ACEs) and SUD polygenic scores.
methodIn 10,275 Yale-Penn participants (
resultsThere was variability in the difficulty and discrimination of SUD criteria. Many criteria discriminated less effectively among individuals with higher ACEs factor scores. Continued substance use despite physical/psychological problems (β = .08,
conclusionsFindings highlight the impact of ACEs on SUD assessment. Considering the relative weighting of criteria or developing screening procedures that consider subgroup-specific differences in symptom functioning may help address these biases.
