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
Maternal mind-mindedness refers to a caregiver's tendency to respond to their infants as individuals with their own thoughts, feelings, desires, and beliefs. Although previous studies have focused on maternal speech in quantifying mind-mindedness, maternal mind-mindedness should manifest not only as mind-related comments but also through non-verbal behaviors during infant-mother interactions. In this study, we investigated the relationship between maternal gaze at the infant's face and typical verbal measurement of mind-mindedness in free-flowing interactions. Forty 11- to 13-month-old infants and their mothers participated in the study; the mothers were asked to wear a head-mounted eye tracker to measure their gaze during infant-mother free-play interactions. We measured the proportion of time mothers looked at the infant's face when it was present in the mother's field of view and examined the relationship between the face-looking proportion and verbal measurement of mothers' mind-mindedness. Mothers who displayed appropriate mind-related comments looked at the faces of their infants more frequently. Moreover, their looking was coordinated in a timely manner with appropriate mind-related comments compared with other comments. Our findings suggest that mothers looking at infants' faces supports comments regarding infants' mental states and shed new light on real-time behaviors underlying mothers' mentalization processes.
