1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Parental anxiety and family accommodation have been implicated in the development and maintenance of child anxiety, yet their relationships with specific child anxiety dimensions remain unclear. This study applied network analysis to examine these interconnections in a clinical sample of 433 children with primary anxiety disorders. The estimated network revealed that family accommodation was strongly associated with separation anxiety. Generalized and panic/somatic anxiety were the most interconnected child anxiety dimensions, whereas social anxiety and parental anxiety were the least. Clustering analysis identified two groups: one comprising family accommodation, parental anxiety, and separation anxiety, and another including all other child anxiety dimensions. Stability metrics supported confidence in the network's structure, and network comparisons revealed no significant structural differences across informants or age groups. These findings provide further insight into the relationships between parental factors and child anxiety dimensions, particularly the strong link between family accommodation and separation anxiety.
