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
objectives(1) to learn to whom children disclose experiences of harm caused by their parents' or carers' substance abuse, (2) to show whether professionals enable children to disclose this harm, and (3) to highlight what kind of assistance they provide after disclosure of harm.
methodsThe study is based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with children living with alcohol-abusing caregivers in Lithuania. Twenty-three children, aged from 8 to 18 years, from social risk families participated in this study.
resultsChildren suffer not only from the maltreatment itself, but also from the associative stigma of the caregivers' drinking. They prefer to disclose their troubles in informal settings because professionals often do not help children to disclose harm and may even ignore it.
conclusionThe analysis shows that when children reveal parental alcohol problems, there is no inquiry, follow-up, or management of the children's problems related to the caregivers' drinking. And yet, protective factors such as social support and positive experiences may enhance children's resilience in adverse conditions. Policy-makers should reduce barriers to disclosure and refocus their strategies from risk identification to identification of protective factors. Professionals need to develop an understanding about how they can support children to disclose harms related to the caregivers' drinking so that harms to children can be managed sensitively and well.
