Adolescents' Attachment-Related Insecurity with Custodial Grandmothers: Relations to Their Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms.
Article in Family relations, 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
Objective: The primary goals of the present study were to (a) differentiate types of adolescents' attachment-related insecurity with their custodial grandmothers, and (b) examine associations, including bidirectional relations, between grandchildren's attachment insecurity and their maladjustment symptoms 9 months later. Background: There is limited research on attachment-related insecurity for adolescents in the care of custodial grandparents-a group that may be at heightened risk for insecure relationships and poor adjustment symptoms. Methods: Adolescent grandchildren ( Results: Within time, general insecurity predicted higher internalizing and externalizing symptoms. T1 general insecurity longitudinally predicted higher T2 externalizing and internalizing symptoms, with relations for externalizing symptoms moderated by length of care. Interestingly, T1 internalizing symptoms positively predicted T2 general insecurity. Conclusions: Consistent with attachment theory and prior research on parent-child relationships, grandchildren's relationship quality with their custodial grandmother predicted later maladjustment symptoms. Implications: Findings highlight the importance of attending to grandchildren's attachment-related insecurity in providing supportive services and resources to custodial grandfamilies.
