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
Parenting support programs are an effective means of preventing child maltreatment. However, these programs are often criticized for their limited ability to enroll and engage the parents who need them most. The present study aimed to determine which risk factors associated with child maltreatment predicted mothers' enrollment in the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program in Quebec. To this end, 240 mothers of children aged 6 months to 8 years enrolled in Triple P were compared with 834 mothers randomly selected from the general population. The results suggest that mothers who perceived their child to be more difficult, used fewer positive parenting practices, and reported a lower parenting sense of competence were more likely to enroll in the program. Being unemployed, having a lower income, and being a single parent or part of a stepfamily also increased the mothers' likelihood of participating in Triple P. These results suggest that Triple P was implemented in such a way as to attract families presenting various risk factors, which is promising in a child maltreatment prevention context.
