Relationships between depersonalization-derealization symptoms and separation anxiety in adult patients with mood and anxiety disorders.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aims: To establish the relationship between depersonalization/derealization symptoms (DPs), as assessed by different standardized DP scales, and separation anxiety in a sample of outpatients with anxiety and mood disorders as a primary diagnosis (n=156). We hypothesized that patients with high levels of separation anxiety had more frequent, severe, and clinically relevant DP symptoms than those with low levels of separation anxiety. Methods: A consecutive sample of 156 outpatients with mood and anxiety disorders was evaluated by the Structured Clinical Interview for Derealization/Depersonalization Spectrum (SCI-DER), the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS), the Body Sensation Questionnaire (BSQ), the Dissociative Experience Scale (DES), the Panic/Agoraphobic Questionnaire-self report (PAS-SR) for the evaluation of separation anxiety. Results: The sample was dichotomized into a group with high levels of separation anxiety (3 or more DSM-IV diagnostic items endorsed) Conclusions: Our findings highlight a link between separation anxiety and DP symptoms. This connection contributes to understanding and evaluating suicidality in individuals with mood and anxiety disorders.
