About this collection & sources
Bibliographic records retrieved from Europe PMC / PubMed on 20 September 2026. Search: English-language records with “selective mutism” in the title. Of 241 results, 205 journal publications are included after removing duplicate records, theses, letters, corrections, news, and peripheral matches.
Article types combine database publication labels and explicit title wording. “Journal article” is a broad publication category, not a claim that every item is an original experimental study. Reviews, case reports, and study protocols are labelled separately. Publication year and first-publication date can differ for articles published online ahead of print.
Cards display short, verbatim excerpts of up to 24 words from the source abstracts, where available; these are excerpts, not summaries of the full study. Full abstracts remain on the source websites. A PMC link indicates an available PMC record; other full texts may require a subscription. This is a browsing collection, not a systematic review or a ranking of study quality.hello@mini-talks.org.
