The mediating role of attachment in panic disorder and separation anxiety disorder.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of attachment on the relationship between Panic Dısorder (PD) and Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD).
methods76 patients with PD, who consecutively applied to the Psychiatry outpatient clinic of Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Training and Research Hospital between 1 April 2023 and 1 December 2023, and 79 healthy individuals were included in the study. The Panic Agoraphobia Scale (PAS), Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA), and Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ) were administered to the participants who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study.
resultsIn the study, it was found that the prevalence of ASAD was statistically significantly higher in patients with PD (66%) than in healthy individuals (34%) (p < 0.05). In the model created to examine the mediating effect of attachment on the relationship between PD and ASAD, it was observed that only ASAD had a direct effect on the development of PD (β = 0.063, 95% CI: 0.053, 0.306, p = 0.006). On the other hand, it was found that attachment styles did not play a mediating role in this relationship, either directly or indirectly (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe study found that the prevalence of ASAD and insecure attachment problems was higher in patients with PD compared to healthy individuals. It was observed that there was no mediating effect of attachment in the relationship between PD and ASAD. On the other hand, it was determined that ASAD had a direct effect on the development of PD.
