A Psychometric Evaluation of the Parenting Anxious Kids Rating Scale (PAKRS-PR) in a Sample of Families with Clinically Anxious Children.

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
The Parenting Anxious Kids Rating Scale-Parent Report (PAKRS-PR) measures five types of anxiogenic parenting. The present study aimed to extend the previous psychometric evaluation of the PAKRS-PR to a treatment-seeking sample and examine sensitivity to change over 15 sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy. The sample included 383 parent-child dyads presenting to treatment at a specialty outpatient clinic. Cronbach's α was acceptable for the PAKRS-PR Total scale and several subscales, although the Accommodation/Beliefs and Warmth/Support subscales were in the unacceptable/questionable range. Convergent validity was found to be mixed with the closest relationship between anxiety severity and the Accommodation/Beliefs, Warmth/Support, and Conflict PAKRS-PR subscales. Additionally, the PAKRS-PR Total score and subscales changed significantly throughout treatment, but were not associated with treatment response or child- or clinician-rated treatment outcome measures. Overall, the current findings demonstrate some support for the psychometric properties of the PAKRS-PR; however, further refinement of the PAKRS-PR at the item-level is recommended to further strengthen the measure.
