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

The relationship between mother and child emotion regulation (ER) is widely researched, but fewer studies have investigated explanatory variables or those affecting the strength of this link. BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe present study focused on maternal play behavior, considered as an explanatory mechanism between mother and child ER. In addition, the study explored the moderating role of paternal empathy in the association between maternal emotion regulation (ER) and maternal play behavior.

methodsThis present cross-sectional study involves 103 mothers and their husbands (the children's fathers), with at least one child between the ages of 3 and 6 who is typically developed.

resultsOur findings show that maternal play behavior mediates the relationship between maternal cognitive reappraisal (CR), expressive suppression (ES), and child ER. Regarding the moderating role of paternal empathy, lower levels moderate the association between ER and maternal play behavior.

conclusionsOur findings highlight the importance of maternal play behavior as an explanatory variable between maternal and child outcomes and, concomitantly, of paternal variables, such as empathy, in supporting maternal play behavior when it comes to achieving better child outcomes.
