Marital and Parent-Child Relationships during Treatment for Adolescent Depression: Child-Driven and Bidirectional Effects.
Article in Journal of abnormal child psychology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Adolescent depression can be a stressor for parents and families. This study evaluated how treating adolescent depression affects marital and parent-child relationships. We examined whether marital adjustment and parent-child conflict improved over the course of active treatment of depressed adolescents (36-week visit) and long-term follow-up (one year after discontinuation of treatment) in a sample of 322 clinically depressed youth participating in the Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS). We also explored the bidirectional influences of adolescent depression and family relationships. Results indicated that marital adjustment was stable during active treatment but declined during long-term follow up. A structural equation model (SEM) examining the bidirectional relation between adolescent depression and marital adjustment indicated that higher adolescent depression at the conclusion of maintenance treatment (24-week visit) predicted a deterioration of marital adjustment at the end of active treatment (36-week visit). Parent-child conflict was unchanged during treatment and follow up. SEM analyses examining the bidirectional relationship between youth depression and parent-child conflict revealed that reduced depressive symptoms at the end of the active treatment period predicted improvement in parent-child conflict at subsequent time points. These findings suggest that youth depression and its treatment may influence long-term family functioning.
