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 study examines the relationship between parental adult attachment and parent-adolescent attachment and investigates the mediating role of harsh parenting from the perspective of family systems theory. The sample included adolescents and their parents from 1,030 families in Henan Province, China. Measures included the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale, Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment Scale, and Harsh Parenting Scale. The results showed that paternal avoidance negatively predicts father-adolescent and mother-adolescent attachments, while maternal avoidance and maternal anxiety negatively predict father-adolescent attachment and mother-adolescent attachment, respectively. Paternal harsh parenting not only mediated the relationship between paternal adult and father-adolescent attachment but also between paternal adult and mother-adolescent attachment. However, maternal harsh parenting only plays an intermediary role between maternal adult and mother-adolescent attachment. The results of the study show that compared with the adverse effects of maternal adult attachment and maternal harsh parenting on parent-adolescent attachment, paternal avoidance and paternal harsh parenting more negatively affect parent-adolescent attachment, which is not conducive to familial harmony.
