Emotion Regulation and Expression Among Parents of Children Residing in Emergency Housing.
Article in Journal of child and family studies, 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
Effective emotion socialization - including parental modeling of healthy emotional expression and adaptive regulation - may support resilience for children experiencing adversity. Unfortunately, parental modeling of emotion may be negatively altered in the context of stress. The current study examined associations among parents' emotional experience, expression, and regulation in families with young children experiencing homelessness. Participants were 108 primary caregivers (89.8% female) of 4- to 6-year-old children (58.2% male) in emergency housing. Parents reported on their own recent emotional experiences, habitual emotion expressiveness in the family environment, and emotion regulation strategy use (e.g., rumination, positive reappraisal). Parents' emotional expressions were also coded observationally from video-recorded parent-child interaction tasks. We hypothesized that parental emotional experience and regulation would each predict emotion expressions in the parent-child context, and that parental emotion regulation would moderate the links between the experience and expression of negative emotion. Hypotheses were partially supported. Self-reported subjective emotional experiences predicted self-reported but not observed emotion expressiveness, and associations linking regulation with emotional experience and expressiveness were largely valence-specific (i.e., adaptive regulation predicting positive emotions, maladaptive regulation predicting negative emotions). Adaptive (but not maladaptive) regulation uniquely predicted more positive emotion expressiveness (observed and self-reported) and less self-reported negative expressiveness. Sociodemographic risk was not related to parental emotion variables, and regulation did not moderate links between emotional experience and expression. Results suggest that adaptive regulatory strategies may help parents experience and express more positive and less negative emotions in the context of poverty and homelessness, with potential downstream benefits for children's social-emotional development.
