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
aimThe study aimed to investigate the factors that influence parental self-efficacy and to examine the roles of psychological flexibility, mindful awareness, and self-compassion in promoting parental mental health outcomes and self-efficacy in providing care for children with or without congenital hearing loss (HL).
designA descriptive, cross-sectional study.
methodsCross-sectional data from 540 parents of children with (Sample 1; n = 204) or without (Sample 2; n = 336) congenital HL were collected through online questionnaires. The researchers constructed a mediation model and conducted various statistical analyses, including stepwise regressions, t tests, correlations, and mediation analyses.
resultsThe results indicated that for parents of children both with and without congenital HL, parental mental health symptoms (e.g., parental stress, depression, and anxiety) were negatively associated with parental self-efficacy, psychological flexibility, mindful awareness, and self-compassion (r values ranged from 0.68 to 0.27, all p values < 0.01). The results revealed that parental mental health symptoms had direct (β ranging from -0.29 to -0.18) and indirect effects (β ranging from -0.85 to -0.33) on parental self-efficacy in both groups. Psychological inflexibility (β ranging from -0.39 to -0.18), mindful awareness (β ranging from -0.22 to -0.07), and self-compassion (β ranging from -0.29 to -0.08) mediated the relationship between mental health symptoms and parental self-efficacy. Among these factors, psychological inflexibility emerged as the strongest mediator and predictor (with the proportion mediated ranging from 32.50% to 38.10%). PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The participation of parents in this study provided valuable insights into the factors that influence parental mental health outcomes and self-efficacy in providing care for children with or without congenital HL. Nurses could develop interventions such as workshops, support groups, and individualised care plans that target psychological flexibility, mindful awareness, self-compassion, and mental health support, which have the potential to increase parental well-being and improve confidence in caregiving.
