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

introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic posed major challenges to parent-adolescent relationships under global stressors. Scant research has examined changes in the daily links between parenting behaviors and adolescent maladjustment before and after the onset of the pandemic. This study investigated the within-day associations between two parenting behaviors-positive parenting and psychological control-and three adolescent maladjustments-conduct problems, emotional problems, and negative affect-before and during COVID-19 through a two-wave multi-informant month-long daily diary study.

methodsA total of 3041 daily observations from 30 parent-adolescent dyads collected in Canada (adolescents: M = 14.3, 39% female, 42% White; parents: M = 43.5, 72% female, 42% White) were assessed before (2019, n

resultsPositive parenting and conduct problems decreased, while emotional problems increased from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multi-level modeling showed that positive parenting was negatively linked with conduct problems and negative affect on the same day, whereas psychological control was positively linked with conduct problems and negative affect on the same day. Based on adolescent-reports, the onset of the pandemic suppressed the negative relation between positive parenting and negative affect, and amplified the positive relation between psychological control and emotional problems.

conclusionsThese findings provide crucial evidence for changes in the daily links between parenting behaviors and adolescent maladjustment from before to during the pandemic. Family-based interventions should target daily parenting behaviors during periods of stress and uncertainty to promote adolescent adjustment.
