Developmental Trajectories of Anxiety Subtypes from Childhood to Early Adolescence: the Role of Parenting Practices and Maternal Distress.

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 present study was embedded in an Asian birth cohort to (a) investigate the trajectories of specific anxiety subtypes from middle childhood to early adolescence, (b) compare developmental trajectories by child sex, and (c) examine their associations with caregiving factors including parenting practices and maternal distress. Data from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort were analyzed (N = 547; 52.8% boys; 57.3% Chinese, 27.8% Malay, 14.7% Indian, 0.2% other ethnicities). Subtype-specific anxiety symptoms were repeatedly assessed via child-report at ages 8.5, 10, and 13 years. Parenting behaviors and maternal distress levels were measured via observed measures and parental report at age 6 years. We found subtype and sex-specific changes in anxiety symptoms across multiple timepoints using linear mixed effects models. Social anxiety symptoms increased with age, with a greater rate of increase in girls. Obsessive-compulsive and harm avoidance symptoms declined with age, with a slower rate of decrease in girls. Furthermore, parental autonomy support was associated with lower rates of increase in children's social anxiety symptoms while maternal anxiety and stress levels were linked to greater increase in generalized anxiety, physical, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Our findings identify the transition from childhood to adolescence as a vulnerable period for the escalation of social anxiety symptoms, particularly for girls. Additionally, we underscore the significant role of early caregiving practices and maternal mental health for the development of anxiety symptoms into adolescence, identifying focal targets for family-centered intervention programs.
