Teaching Parents to Be Responsive: A Network Meta-analysis.
Article in Pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
contextChildren who receive more responsive care during their early childhood tend to exhibit stronger cognitive development, mental well-being, and physical health across their life course.
objectiveDetermine how to design effective responsivity training programs for caregivers. DATA SOURCES: We searched seven electronic databases through October 2020. STUDY SELECTION: Randomized trials ( DATA EXTRACTION: Two reviewers independently extracted data. Data were pooled by using random-effects pairwise and network meta-analyses.
resultsPrograms had, on average, a medium effect ( LIMITATIONS: Most samples included only mothers from Western countries and lacked follow-up data.
conclusionsHaving parents observe examples of responsive caregiving and complete home-practice in short, focused programs may be an effective, scalable approach to enhancing responsivity in the general population and reducing inequalities in child development.
