Impact of Virtual Learning on Mothers With Children in Elementary School: A Psychosocial Viewpoint.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Measuring the impact of virtual learning (VL), specifically psychosocially, and its consequences have been poorly studied because VL has never been implemented in this way before worldwide. To our knowledge, no studies in Saudi Arabia have addressed this topic, with very limited available literature internationally. This study aims to evaluate the psychosocial effects of VL on mothers of children in elementary school and its relation to psychosocial factors. Methodology Using an anonymous online questionnaire posted on social media, a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted from May through December 2021 in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A total of 460 mothers consented to complete the study questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of a socioeconomic section and collected information on perceived stress via the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). Results The overall PSS-14 score showed a moderate stress level. Our results showed that as age groups tended to rise, stress scores tended to decline. Diabetes was a significant variable contributing to high stress. Verbal abuse toward a child essentially reflects an increase in stress. Mothers with familial conflicts were more prone to high stress. Conclusions The consequences of VL on mothers and the whole family are alarming. Stress, verbal and physical abuse, and unhealthy family dynamics are strongly associated with such a way of learning. The impact of emotional and behavioral changes among this group of individuals needs to be further investigated.
