The conceptual landscape of self-regulation in neurodevelopmental conditions: an overview of reviews.
Review in Nature human behaviour, 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
Self-regulation is critical yet inconsistently defined across neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs). This preregistered (CRD42023350582), PRISMA-aligned overview of reviews aimed to (1) review and summarize definitions and models of self-regulation, (2) synthesize key self-regulation-related constructs and (3) identify common self-regulation measures in NDC populations. We searched Ovid Medline/PsycINFO/Embase, Web of Science-Core Collection and Cochrane Databases (inception to September 2024). We included 35 narrative, 2 scoping, 7 systematic and 3 meta-analytic peer-reviewed reviews of human studies on autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and intellectual disability that addressed self-regulation across emotional, cognitive and behavioural domains. We found that, despite varied terminology, elevated dysregulation was consistently reported across the included reviews. Inductive content analysis of the included reviews identified core psychological constructs related to self-regulation and their developmental and environmental-contextual interplays; the findings converged into a domain-general, transdiagnostic self-regulation framework emphasizing interdependent integration of emotional, cognitive and behavioural processes across contexts. Finally, a meta-summary from 332 primary empirical studies from the included scoping, systematic and meta-analytic reviews (69 autism, 130 intellectual disability and 133 attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) revealed measurement gaps with 521 identified measurements relying heavily on parent-report questionnaires. Risk of bias assessed through the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist revealed methodological heterogeneity. This overview of reviews offers guidance for aligning research, assessments and interventions with a domain-general, developmental understanding of self-regulation across NDCs.
