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
backgroundPrevious studies have explored the association between parenting style and offspring's psychological well-being, and the association between offspring's achievement attribution pattern and psychological well-being. However, little is known about the role of offspring's achievement attribution in the relationship between parenting and offspring's psychological well-being. We aimed to find the role of adolescents' achievement attribution pattern in the relationship between parent-child communication quality and adolescents' mental health.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 2,725 adolescents aged from 9 to 18 years who are participating in the China Family Panel Studies. Participants supplied demographic information and completed a series of psychological scales including the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale, an adapted version of the Parental Bonding Instrument, an achievement attribution scale, and single-item measures of subjective well-being and subjective interpersonal popularity.
resultsLinear regression analysis revealed that after controlling for demographic factors good parent-child communication negatively correlated with depression symptoms, and positively associated with subjective well-being and subjective interpersonal popularity. Next, mediation analysis found that internal attribution of achievement partly mediated the effects of parent-child communication quality on adolescents' depression, subjective well-being, and subjective interpersonal popularity. The result was robust after controlling demographic variables.
conclusionsAn internal attribution pattern of achievement partially accounted for the associations between parent-child communication quality and adolescents' psychological outcomes including depression, subjective well-being, and subjective interpersonal popularity. Future interventions for adolescents' mental health promotion can target parent-child communication and adolescents' positive achievement attribution pattern.
