Monitoring arts and psychomotor therapies: Further development and validation of the Self-expression and Emotion-Regulation in Arts and Psychomotor Therapies Scale (SERAPTS).
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
backgroundThe present study is an extension of previous research, which resulted in the development of a valid, reliable and user-friendly tool for monitoring art therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the extended reliability and sensitivity to change of the adapted version of the above scale, now called the Self-expression and Emotion Regulation in Arts and Psychomotor Therapies Scale (SERAPTS) for art, dance, drama, music and psychomotor therapy.
methodsA pre-post design study was conducted on adult patients diagnosed with emotion regulation problems or personality disorder(s) cluster B/C. The study's sample size was determined by the researchers to be 96 participants for the purpose of testing internal consistency, and 67 participants for the purpose of testing sensitivity for change.
resultsAn excellent internal consistency was found for all domains of therapy combined (Cronbach's α = 0.95). Additionally, high to excellent internal consistencies were identified for dance (α = 0.88), drama (α = 0.89), music (α = 0.95), and psychomotor therapy (α = 0.95), when considered separately. Furthermore, a significant sensitivity for change was identified within a 3-month timeframe (t = -4.39, p < .001), accompanied by a medium effect size (Cohen's d = 0.54). DISCUSSION: The validity of the tool has been established in previous research. The present study sought to establish the applicability and reliability/sensitivity to change of the SERAPTS, with a view to extending it to the broad spectrum of all creative arts and psychomotor therapies. The SERAPTS was shown to be a valid and sensitive instrument for monitoring the effects of creative arts and psychomotor therapies, indicating healthy self-expression and emotion regulation skills that serve positive self-regulation.
