Transdiagnostic symptom networks in adolescent psychopathology: A longitudinal panel network analysis.
Article in JCPP advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Understanding symptom patterns of emerging psychopathology is essential for early detection and intervention. Network analysis offers a promising approach by conceptualizing emerging psychopathology as dynamic interactions between symptoms over time. This study aims to explore the structure of a transdiagnostic symptom network in adolescents. Methods: A one-year prospective study was conducted with a general population sample of 1186 Swiss adolescents with no current or past mental disorders (data collection: February 2021-March 2024; age 11-17 years ( Results: In the contemporaneous network, anxiety, depressive, and eating disorder symptoms, particularly excessive worry (EI = 1.08), body dissatisfaction (EI = 1.03), and low self-esteem (EI = 1.01), exhibited the highest EI. Irritability (BEI = 0.80/BB = 0.58) and low self-esteem (BEI = 0.57/BB = 0.50) acted as important bridge symptoms within the network. In the temporal network, uncontrollable worry ( Conclusion: Worry, body dissatisfaction and weight concerns play a pivotal role in emerging psychopathology by linking multiple disorder domains and shaping symptom dynamics over time. These findings may enhance early detection by identifying high-risk adolescents and may inform prevention strategies, such as interventions targeting excessive worry and negative body image, to reduce symptom escalation and improve long-term mental health outcomes.
