1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may represent a risk for offspring school readiness. Previous studies suggested that children's psychological resilience may mediate between the intergenerational transmission of parental ACEs and offspring school readiness. Using structural equation modeling, our study aimed to explore the role of psychological resilience in the association between parental ACEs and preschool readiness. A sample of 711 Chinese parents of preschool children aged three (53.3% boys) and their kindergarten teachers participated in this research. Parents reported their ACEs and their children's psychological resilience, whereas teachers reported children's preschool readiness. Parental ACEs directly affect children's social competence, learning disposition, and classroom rules. Psychological resilience mediated the pathways from parental ACEs to self-care abilities, emotional maturity, cognitive and communicative skills, and social competence learning dispositions. This study highlights the importance of parental ACEs and psychological resilience in preschool readiness. Specific interventions related to children's psychological resilience should help break the intergenerational cycle of ACEs in preschool readiness.
