Family-based exposure and response prevention therapy for preschool-aged children with obsessive-compulsive disorder: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Behaviour research and therapy, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01447966 (Family Based Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Preschoolers With Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
aimsTo examine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of family-based exposure/response prevention therapy (E/RP) versus treatment as usual (TAU) in a cohort of very young children with early onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
methodsThirty-one children ages 3-8 years (M = 5.8 years) with a primary diagnosis of OCD were randomized to E/RP or TAU. The E/RP condition received 12 sessions of family-based E/RP twice weekly over 6 weeks. Families were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, 1-month and 3-month follow up. The Children's Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale and Clinical Global Impression served as primary outcome measures.
resultsA large group effect emerged in favor of the E/RP group (d = 1.69). Sixty-five percent of the E/RP group was considered treatment responders as compared to 7% in the TAU group. Symptom remission was achieved in 35.2% of the E/RP group and 0% of the TAU group. There was no attrition and satisfaction was high; gains were maintained at 3 months.
conclusionsEven amongst children as young as 3 years, developmentally tailored E/RP is efficacious and well-tolerated in reducing OCD symptoms. Key adaptations for younger children include extensive parent involvement, targeting family accommodation, and frequent meetings while delivering a full course of E/RP.
