Inhibitory Control Moderates the Association Between Fear and Attention Bias to Snakes in Middle Childhood.

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
Fear and inhibitory control interact to affect the attention allocated to threats in clinically anxious populations. We examined whether fear and inhibitory control impact attention bias to threat in a community sample of 6- to 8-year-old children (n=102). A visual search task used color photographs of snakes and caterpillars as targets and flowers as the distractors. Parents completed questionnaires about their child's fear and inhibitory control. Results showed that the children exhibited an attentional bias to snakes. Child fear predicted for the attention bias, whereas fear and inhibitory control interacted to predict attention bias. Simple slopes analysis showed the association between fear and attention bias was significant only for children who had high inhibitory control and not significant for those who had low inhibitory control. Models of child anxiety focus on links between fear and inhibitory control; our work extends the occurrence of this phenomena to community, non-clinical populations.
