Family factors as moderators of the association between specific cognitive domains and psychosocial, academic, and adaptive functioning outcomes in youth with spina bifida.
Article in Journal of pediatric psychology, 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the direct and interactive effects of cognitive and family factors on psychosocial, academic, and adaptive functioning outcomes in youth with spina bifida (SB).
methodsParticipants included 41 families of youth with SB (ages 3-16 years old). Caregivers reported on child functioning (i.e., executive, psychosocial, and adaptive functioning), as well as family factors, such as family environment, marital adjustment, caregiver distress, and parenting stress. Youth completed performance-based assessments of vocabulary and academic functioning. Direct effects of cognitive and family factors on youth psychosocial, academic, and adaptive outcomes were examined using hierarchical multiple regression analyses, whereas interactive effects were examined using moderation models in PROCESS.
resultsRegression analyses revealed that both cognitive (i.e., executive dysfunction, vocabulary) and family (i.e., parenting stress) factors accounted for variability in youth outcomes. Interactive effects between cognitive and family factors were also revealed when predicting youth emotional and behavioral problems, as well as adaptive skills. Specifically, greater executive dysfunction was associated with greater emotional and behavioral problems in low and moderate, but not high, quality family environments. Additionally, analyses revealed that youth with higher levels of executive dysfunction generally demonstrated poorer adaptive skills, regardless of caregiver distress. However, those with low levels of executive dysfunction demonstrated poorer adaptive skills only in the presence of more caregiver distress.
conclusionsBoth cognitive and family factors may contribute to adjustment outcomes in children with SB. Findings highlight the importance of developing comprehensive family-based interventions in the context of SB.
