A Meta-Analysis of Cross Sectional Studies Investigating Language in Maltreated Children

TL;DR: The aim of the systematic review described in this article was to synthesize available high-quality evidence on the outcomes of noninstitutional child maltreatment across the life span to highlight the importance of implementing evidence-based child protection policies and practices to prevent maltreatment and treat child abuse survivors.

TL;DR: In this article, an interactive interviewer training system with a large, heterogeneous sample of investigative interviewers of children was presented. But the system focused on how to elicit important evidential details from child witnesses in a narrative format.

TL;DR: GPS-derived indicators of average distance travelled overall and distance from home, as well as percent of GPS samples at home were highly correlated with EMA reports of location at the day- and week-averaged level, and GPS-based mobility indicators were lower in schizophrenia with medium to large effect sizes.

TL;DR: The positive effect of ABC-T on foster children's receptive vocabulary was mediated by increases in foster parents' sensitivity during parent-child interactions, which demonstrated more advanced receptive vocabulary abilities than children whose foster parents received the control intervention.

TL;DR: Moher et al. as mentioned in this paper introduce PRISMA, an update of the QUOROM guidelines for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses, which is used in this paper.

TL;DR: A structured summary is provided including, as applicable, background, objectives, data sources, study eligibility criteria, participants, interventions, study appraisal and synthesis methods, results, limitations, conclusions and implications of key findings.

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

TL;DR: The QUOROM Statement (QUality Of Reporting Of Meta-analyses) as mentioned in this paper was developed to address the suboptimal reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
