Editorial: When children also shape the family environment.
Article in JCPP advances, 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
Family research in child and adolescent mental health has often been framed as if influence runs mainly from adults to children. Bjørndal et al. provide a timely corrective. Using longitudinal network models that separate within-person from between-person associations, they show that adolescent mental health difficulties and family dynamics are interrelated over time, and that emotional symptoms may precede later hyperactivity/inattention and sibling problems. Their findings also point to reinforcing loops within the family system, particularly between low family support and negative feelings towards the family. This matters because family members are not merely environmental exposures; they are genetically correlated social environments, and children can shape parental and sibling dynamics as well as be shaped by them. Distinguishing between variables with stronger outgoing and ingoing influence may help refine which intervention hypotheses should be prioritized, and which should be discarded or treated more cautiously.
