Family accommodation in pediatric anxiety: Relations with avoidance and self-efficacy.
Article in Behaviour research and therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Pediatric anxiety disorders are common, impairing, and chronic when not effectively treated. A growing body of research implicates family accommodation in the maintenance of pediatric anxiety. The present study aimed to quantify previously untested relations among family accommodation and two theoretically linked constructs: avoidance and self-efficacy. Eighty youths between ages 8 and 17 (53 with anxiety disorders, 27 non-anxious controls) completed measures of family accommodation and self-efficacy. In addition, avoidance was assessed using two distinct measures of avoidance: a clinician rating of real-world behaviors and a laboratory task-based index. As predicted, youths with anxiety disorders reported greater family accommodation than non-anxious controls. Across the sample, greater family accommodation was associated with greater avoidance, as measured using both clinician rating and the laboratory task, as well as with lower self-efficacy. In an exploratory mediation model, self-efficacy partially mediated the relation between family accommodation and clinician-rated avoidance; however, it did not mediate the relation between family accommodation and task-based avoidance. Considering the robust association between family accommodation and anxiety in youths, this addition to our understanding of related cognitive and behavioral factors provides important preliminary insight, which can guide future research on potential targets for early identification and intervention for pediatric anxiety.
