Proposed Framework for the Psychological Treatment of Munchausen by Proxy Survivors.
Review in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Munchausen by Proxy abuse occurs when a caretaker with a psychiatric condition called Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another intentionally falsifies illness and/or disability in another, usually a mother falsifying illness or disability in her child. Optimal recovery from MBP abuse requires a variety of interventions with the survivor, with an emphasis on using accurate information to help the survivor better understand reality and develop a healthier self-narrative. The goals of this paper are to provide information about the psychological aspects of Munchausen by Proxy abuse and to propose a psychological treatment framework tailored to the needs of survivors. Components of the heuristic model, using the acronym STORIES, include Safety and Stabilization, Trauma Processing & Support, Obtaining Information; Rebuilding Trust and Relationships; Integration of Health and Well-Being; Empowerment and Self-Esteem, and Sustained Support and Follow-Up. The model can be used as a guide for mental health providers, child and adult welfare professionals, and legal experts within the field of maltreatment who are developing safety and treatment plans for MBP survivors.
