These are all rather small trials which would require a fairly large effect to be noticeable. 1191 total from 16 studies of children and 2336 from 39 studies for adults.

Note: A single stuidy of 200 people is generally better than 10 studies of 50 people because you can't combine raw data from different studies. And treatments for mental issues are generally only useful for sub populations.

You absolutely can combine results from different studies, look up meta-analysis.
