Beyond the family: Peer and neighborhood contexts buffer the effects of childhood threat and deprivation on adolescent functioning.
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
backgroundLittle research has examined whether adaptive socialization contexts outside the family buffer distinct adversity dimensions reflecting the threat-deprivation framework, particularly in relation to the understudied construct of sexual body-esteem.
objectiveGrounded in the threat and deprivation framework, we examined whether positive peer involvement and neighborhood social cohesion buffer the impact of childhood threat and deprivation on internalizing and externalizing problems and sexual body-esteem. PARTICIPANTS AND
settingThe sample was comprised of 264 adolescents (Mage = 14.9, 50.8% female, 86.4% white, 84.5% Hispanic) and their caregivers. Participants completed two waves of a longitudinal study.
methodConfirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) derived latent threat and deprivation dimensions and their subdomains (home vs. community threat; basic needs vs. caregiver neglect deprivation). Next, we examined whether positive peer involvement and neighborhood social cohesion moderated the effect of childhood adversity on adolescent functioning.
resultsCFAs supported distinct threat and deprivation subdimensions. Community threat positively predicted externalizing problems (p = .016) and basic needs deprivation negatively predicted internalizing problems (p = .016). The direct effort of neighborhood social cohesion on sexual body-esteem was also significant (p = .004). The moderating role of neighborhood social cohesion in the association between basic needs deprivation and internalizing (p = .023) and externalizing (p = .016) problems was supported, as well as the association between home threat and externalizing problems (p < .001). Positive peer involvement moderated the association between home threat and sexual body-esteem (p = .034).
conclusionsFindings highlight the role of protective factors in mitigating the impact of childhood adversity on adolescent functioning.
