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.

Abstract
backgroundChildren in out-of-home care constitute a vulnerable population often experiencing mental health challenges related to early adversity and placement disruptions. The Circle of Security Parenting program
methodsThis study protocol follows a mixed-methods randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of the COS-P program for foster carers in France. A total of 70 foster carers will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (receiving COS-P in addition to Treatment as Usual) or the waitlist control group (receiving Treatment as Usual only). Quantitative measures, including the Caregiving Composite Questionnaire, Parenting Stress Index, and the Marschak Interaction Method, will be administered at baseline and at follow-up). Qualitative data will be collected through focus groups with foster carers and COS-P facilitators, and through self-confrontation interviews with a subset of foster carers. DISCUSSION: This study is the first to evaluate the COS-P program for foster carers in France. Findings will provide valuable insights into the program's effectiveness in improving carer-child relationships and foster carer well-being, ultimately contributing to better outcomes for children in out-of-home care. The study will also explore potential moderators of treatment outcome, and shed light on the subjective experiences of participants.
