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 COVID-19 pandemic had broad influences on youth psychological well-being. Relative to short-term, cross-sectional research in non-clinical samples, fewer studies examined the impact of pre-pandemic factors on longitudinal mental health consequences in clinical samples. The current study investigated changes in behavioral and emotional difficulties among 54 clinically anxious youth aged 6-17 during the first 15 months of the pandemic, in relation to pre-pandemic anxiety, depression, and family accommodation. Youth and their mothers were evaluated at an anxiety clinic before and during the early pandemic. Multilevel analyses revealed that male youth experienced higher difficulties than females. Youth-reported pre-pandemic anxiety severity predicted youth difficulties during the pandemic, whereas mother-reported pre-pandemic youth depression and family accommodation predicted youth difficulties over time. Overall, youth difficulties remained relatively stable. Findings highlight the importance of prioritizing mental health support for youth with elevated anxiety and depression while addressing family accommodation before and/or during large-scale disasters.
