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

Genetic factors influence vulnerability to common mental health conditions, but their role in early-life mental health remains understudied. We analysed genotype array (n = 4709-6687) and exome sequence data (n = 4500-5424) from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) and Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) to assess the contribution of common variants and rare deleterious coding variants to internalising and externalising symptoms across development. In longitudinal analysis spanning ages 5-17 years, we identified several associations between common genetic variation, indexed by polygenic indices (PGIs), and both symptom domains that generally remained stable across development. Effect sizes were modest, with the largest estimates observed for PGIs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and externalising behaviour with externalising symptoms (β = 0.13-0.18; p-adj<3.5×10⁻
