1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A growing body of evidence suggests family accommodation (FA) contributes to pediatric anxiety onset, maintenance, and blunted treatment response and has inspired novel treatment approaches. Many measures of FA have been developed in the past two decades, yet their psychometric properties have not been thoroughly examined, compared, and aggregated to inform measurement selection in research and clinical settings. Accurately measuring FA is critical for refining etiological theories of youth anxiety disorders and informing clinical interventions. The current review aims to summarize and critically analyze existing FA measurement tools to inform measure selection and highlight critical weaknesses and areas for future FA measurement research. FA measurements were identified via a search of PsycINFO and PubMed and were evaluated using the criteria for evidence-based assessment (Hunsley & Mash, 2007). Most FA measures demonstrated adequate psychometric properties, suggesting FA measure selection will largely depend upon context, available resources, intended use, and FA subdomains of interest. FA measurement will benefit from additional research using longitudinal methods and more diverse samples.
