Does Training Parents in Reinforcement Skills or Relationship Skills Enhance Individual Youths' Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety? Outcome, Specificity, and Mediation.
Article in Clinical psychological science : a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We conducted a dismantling design treatment study comparing individual CBT, CBT targeting parents' reinforcement skills (CBT+Reinf), and CBT targeting parents' relationship skills (CBT+ Relat) in 341 youths with primary anxiety diagnoses. At posttreatment, youths in CBTs with parent involvement had lower anxiety than youths in CBT. At 12-month follow-up, youths in CBT+Relat maintained lower anxiety relative to CBT. At posttreatment, negative reinforcement was significantly lower in CBT+Reinf than CBT+Relat and CBT; negative reinforcement partially mediated youth anxiety reduction. Reducing parental negative reinforcement in CBT+Reinf was associated with lower parental psychological control which also partially mediated youth anxiety reduction. Some of these mediational dynamics continued through follow-up. Targeting concrete behavioral parenting skills, especially negative reinforcement, produced treatment specificity and partial mediation relative to less concrete targeting, and enhanced CBT. Findings highlight complexities in identifying mechanisms through which targeting of parenting skills produces youth anxiety reduction and suggest avenues for future research.
