The effects of poverty on childhood brain development: the mediating effect of caregiving and stressful life events
Luby J, Belden A, Botteron K, Marrus N, Harms MP, Babb C, Nishino T, Barch D.. JAMA pediatrics, 2013-12-01
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
RESULTS Poverty was associated with smaller white and cortical gray matter and hippocampal and amygdala volumes. Findings that these effects on the hippocampus are mediated by caregiving and stressful life events suggest that attempts to enhance early caregiving should be a focused public health target for prevention and early intervention.

How this study scored 52/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a longitudinal study following the same people over time. Scored zero for sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 30 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 52 out of 100.
