Lifelong Attachment System Asian Model of Family Therapy.
Article in Journal of marital and family therapy, 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
The concept of a lifelong attachment system is derived from the author's four decades of clinical experience. This framework aligns with the collectivist values prevalent in Asian cultures, where individuals are regarded as integral parts of a larger community. Individual well-being is viewed as contingent upon a secure attachment system throughout the lifecycle. In order to illustrate the practical application of this concept, I will present a composite family therapy case study involving a socially withdrawn (hikikomori) adolescent. The objective of the therapy is to facilitate secure attachment systems. The therapeutic process includes establishing a therapeutic system, promoting secure communication within the system, and incorporating broader attachment networks. This composite case study discusses the culturally preferred value of human relationship from the collectivistic perspective prevalent in East Asian cities. It also introduces therapeutic approaches that effectively promote a secure family system by expanding the original attachment theory.
