eMoms and Teens for Safe Dates: a Single Arm Pre-post Study of Preliminary Efficacy.
Article in Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research, 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
backgroundAdolescents exposed to intimate partner violence between caregivers face heightened risk of adolescent dating violence (ADV), yet few family-based prevention programs have been tailored to this group or evaluated for their impact on theorized mechanisms of change.
methodsThis single-arm pilot study examined the preliminary efficacy of eMoms and Teens for Safe Dates (eMTSD), a brief, web-based program for IPV-exposed adolescents and their mothers. Participants were 101 mother-adolescent dyads recruited via community agencies and social media. All dyads completed a baseline survey and were asked to complete six modules together over 6 weeks. Follow-up data were collected from 85 mothers and 80 adolescents. Analyses assessed pre-post changes in factors targeted by the intervention and examined cross-sectional associations between these factors and baseline ADV victimization and perpetration.
resultsSignificant changes in the expected direction were found for targeted adolescent (knowledge, perceived severity, and normative beliefs) and mother (knowledge, protection motivation beliefs) cognitions. Mothers and adolescents also showed gains in conflict-resolution skills and declines in adolescent emotion dysregulation approached significance. At the family level, frequency of communication and adolescent disclosure of dating behaviors/concerns improved significantly, with trends towards improvements in cohesion and communication quality. Many of the factors that changed were also associated with baseline ADV victimization or perpetration, supporting the relevance of program targets.
conclusionseMTSD shows promise for improving modifiable ADV-related risk and protective factors among IPV-exposed families. A randomized trial is needed to assess impacts on ADV outcomes and inform future scale-up.
