Maternal Expectations and Overinvolvement, and Child Emotion Regulation in Children with and Without Anxiety Disorders: An Experimental Observational Study.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
This study explores how child emotion regulation (ER) and maternal overinvolvement contribute to the maintenance of anxiety disorders (ADs) in children. Building on the tripartite model on the impact of the family on children's emotion regulation and adjustment, it experimentally examines the impact of maternal expectations on overinvolvement and child distress. 65 children with ADs (ages 8-15) and 64 healthy controls (HCs) and their mothers participated in a tangram task, with manipulated maternal expectations. Mother-child interactions were observed for maternal involvement and child behavior (ER, distress), with children reporting their emotional reactivity. Against expectations, maternal involvement did not differ between groups and was not influenced by expectations. HC children had better ER abilities than those with ADs. Emotional reactivity moderated the relationship between overinvolvement and ER problems. Children with ADs exhibited more distress, unaffected by maternal expectations. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between parental behavior and child behavior, particularly regarding emotional reactivity.
