Testing specificity in associations of threat and deprivation events with adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
Article in Child abuse & neglect, 2026. 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
backgroundEarly life adversity is a robust predictor of psychopathology across development. However, the direct associations between specific dimensions of adversity and specific types of symptoms are less clear.
objectiveInformed by the Dimensional Model of Adversity and Psychopathology (DMAP), dimensions of threat and deprivation were examined as specific, unique predictors of both internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents.
participantsNinety-six parent-adolescent (ages 10-15 years old) dyads were enrolled in the study.
settingParent-adolescent dyads completed the study in a university research laboratory.
methodsAdolescents completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire at baseline to assess their exposure to dimensions of threat and deprivation. Adolescents completed the Youth Self Report and parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist at baseline, 3-month, and 12-month follow-ups to assess adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
resultsIn regression analyses examining the direct associations of dimensions of adversity with symptoms, after controlling for levels of internalizing symptoms, the most robust effects were found for the direct association of threat with youth self-reports of externalizing symptoms at baseline (β = 0.45 p < .001) and 3-month follow up (β = 0.32, p = .004), and for the parent report of youth externalizing symptoms (β = 0.29, p = .02) at baseline.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the importance of controlling for internalizing problems when predicting externalizing problems and vice versa to test the specificity of dimensions of adversity with symptoms of psychopathology, the significance of including both dimensions as symptom predictors, and the relevance in examining both self- and parent-reports of symptoms.
