Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorders in Youth: Efficacy, Moderators, and New Advances in Predicting Outcomes.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purpose of reviewThis review integrates recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. To inform personalized approaches to intervention, we also review recent research on moderators and predictors of outcomes. RECENT
findingsMeta-analyses provide strong support for the efficacy of CBT for youth anxiety disorders, including with preschool-aged children using appropriate modifications. Furthermore, there is evidence that CBT is an effective adjunct treatment to psychopharmacological interventions, and the combination of treatments may be most effective for some youth. There is limited evidence of consistent demographic and clinical moderators of outcomes. Recent work in neuroscience has highlighted novel predictors of treatment outcomes that, with replication, may aid in more personalized approaches to youth anxiety treatment. CBT is efficacious for treating anxiety disorders in youth and lowering recurrence rates. CBT can also be an efficacious adjunct treatment for psychopharmacological interventions. Neuroimaging and psychophysiological measures of threat and motivational processing have shown initial promise in predicting symptom change with CBT, with potential implications for precision medicine.
