The effects of group mentalization-based treatment-P on cognitive emotion regulation and tic symptoms in children with tic disorders.
Trial report in Psychology and psychotherapy, 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
objectivesThis research aimed to assess the effectiveness of MBT-P in improving cognitive emotion regulation (CER) and reducing tic disorder (TD) symptoms in children diagnosed with TD.
methodsThe study employed a quasi-experimental design, including pre- and post-intervention assessments and a control group. Participants were children exhibiting TD symptoms who visited counselling centres and clinics in Mako, Iran, during the latter half of 2023. A total of 30 mothers of children with TD were randomly assigned to two groups of 15-an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participated in 15 sessions of mentalization-based group therapy, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Both groups completed the Persian versions of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Children's Form (CERQ-K-P) and the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) during pre- and post-assessment phases. Data analysis involved mixed multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
resultsThe mixed MANOVA demonstrated that group therapy focused on mentalization significantly improved children's cognitive emotion regulation (p < .001). In addition, the ANCOVA results showed that this intervention significantly reduced overall tic severity scores among children with TD symptoms (p < .001).
conclusionsThese results indicate that mentalization therapy delivered in groups may improve emotional regulation and decrease tic severity among children with TD. Further research with larger participant pools and more extended follow-up periods is necessary to confirm these findings.
