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
objectiveFamily conflict is related to depression, difficulties with treatment adherence and glycemic control, in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We examined the psychometric properties of a parent-rated family conflict measure and the most frequent behaviors endorsed by caregivers of these youths.
methodsParticipants were 51 caregivers (86.27% women) of adolescents (aged 12-17) with T1D, recruited during a psychotherapy study for youth depression. Both (caregivers and youths) completed questionnaires during the eligibility evaluation. Caregivers completed the Conflict subscale of the Family Environment Scale, considering to what extent its items described their whole family or its majority.
resultsThe most frequent indicators of conflict where becoming upset, displaying anger openly, believing that something can be achieved by speaking loudly, and criticizing and fighting, although not physically. Internal consistency for the subscale when rating conflict indicators in a dichotomous format was .69 and .76 when rated in an ordinal format. Conflict scores correlated moderately and significantly (p less than or equal .05) with other measures completed by youths and caregivers. Caregivers of youths with the worst glycemic control reported the highest levels of conflict. The subscale also showed a satisfactory sensitivity to change by reflecting a significant reduction in caregivers' reports of family conflict after adolescent group treatment.
conclusionOur results confirm the frequent occurrence of conflict (especially verbal conflict) in these families and document the psychometric properties of a measure for its assessment, which may be useful in studies that examine the impact of family conflict in both youth depression and diabetes.
