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
Background: The pandemic has led to unprecedented home quarantine measures affecting children's anxiety levels due to routine disruptions. This study investigated the role of the length of the quarantine period, parents' emotional intelligence, and family socioeconomic status (SES) in influencing children's anxiety. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between quarantine duration and children's anxiety and to explore the mediating role of parents' emotional intelligence and the moderating role of family socioeconomic status in this relationship. Methods: An online questionnaire surveyed 29,550 parents in Guangdong, Hubei, Henan, and Guangxi provinces of China. The measurement tools used included the Preschool Anxiety Scale, the Family Socioeconomic Status (SES) Scale, and the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. The data were analyzed via SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.0. Results: A longer quarantine period (as measured by the number of days) significantly reduced children's anxiety. Parents' emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between quarantine days and children's anxiety, explaining 51.79% of the effect. Family SES moderates the mediating effect of parents' emotional intelligence on children's anxiety, benefiting higher-SES families more than lower-SES families. Children's adaptation during the quarantine period demonstrates psychological resilience. Conclusion: The mediating effect of parents' emotional intelligence accounted for 51.79% of the total effect of quarantine duration on children's anxiety, with longer quarantine periods associated with decreased anxiety. Family socioeconomic status moderated this effect, benefiting higher-socioeconomic-status families more than lower-socioeconomic-status families. Children's adaptation during the quarantine period demonstrates psychological resilience. To alleviate anxiety, policies should focus on supporting families with lower socioeconomic status and enhancing parental emotional skills.
