Parental Cognitions and Motivation to Engage in Psychological Interventions: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Child psychiatry and human development, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This paper reviews the available research on the predictors of parental engagement in preventive and therapeutic psychological interventions that target mental health problems in children. Based on previous literature, seven predictors concerning parental motivation to engage are considered: perceived child problems, perceived parenting, attributions of problems, self-efficacy, expectations about treatment, perceived obstacles and global motivation to engage. PRISMA guidelines for systematic review were used to conduct the literature search. Thirty-seven studies that examined prospective relations between parental cognitions evaluated at the beginning of the intervention and parental engagement during the intervention were included. Most studies focused on the parents' perception of the child's problems and of parenting, with fewer studies examining the role of the other parental cognitions. The results suggest that the psychological dimensions proposed in motivational models may play an important role in understanding parental engagement in preventive and therapeutic psychological interventions.
