Explosive Outbursts in Children With Tourette Syndrome: A Closer Look at Family Functioning Dimensions.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Approximately 50% of children with Tourette syndrome (TS) experience explosive outbursts marked by disproportionate aggressive episodes. Although among the most disruptive manifestations of TS, their impact on family functioning remains unclear. This study examined whether explosive outbursts predicted impairments across dimensions of family functioning. A total of 289 parents of children aged 6-14 (M = 10.6; 75% boys) with TS completed measures assessing tic severity, explosive outbursts, and family functioning. Hierarchical regressions controlling for tics and comorbidities showed that explosive outburst severity significantly predicted impairments in problem solving, role distribution, behavior control, and general functioning, but not in affective responsiveness, affective involvement, or communication. Tics and comorbidities were not significant predictors of any family functioning dimension. Findings suggest that explosive outbursts contribute to organizational and regulatory difficulties, underscoring the importance of targeting these processes in interventions. The absence of associations between explosive outbursts and affective dimensions highlights their distinct clinical profile.
