Parenting Practices in Families of Children With Comorbid ADHD and Anxiety Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Child: care, health and development, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundComorbid anxiety disorders affect up to 28% of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While coercive parenting is often linked to ADHD and overprotectiveness to anxiety disorders (ADs), little is known about parenting practices in children with both disorders (ADHD+ADs). This systematic review and meta-analysis examined parenting practices in children aged 5-12 years with ADHD+ADs.
methodsStudies were identified through PsycINFO (Ovid), Medline (Ovid), EMBASE, and Web of Science from inception date to January 23, 2025. Of the 1838 records screened, four studies were included in the review, and three were included in the meta-analysis.
resultsCompared to parents of children with ADHD alone, those of children with ADHD+ADs reported greater use of anxiety-related parenting practices (k = 3, g = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.11, 0.53, p = 0.002) and fewer positive parenting practices (k = 3, g = -0.35, 95% CI = -0.55, -0.14, p = 0.001). No significant differences were found in ADHD-related parenting practices (k = 2, g = 0.27, 95% CI = -0.16, 0.70, p = 0.26).
conclusionThese findings suggest that families of children with ADHD+ADs may be characterized by increased anxiety-related parenting practices and reduced positive parenting compared to families of children with ADHD alone. Further research is needed to inform the development of targeted interventions.
