Determinants of sibling relationships in the context of mental disorders.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Many studies have been conducted on sibling relationships to explore the well-being of siblings of persons with mental disorders. In this research project, two mediation models were tested. Model 1 examined whether a sibling's distress and the quality of the parent-typically developing sibling relationship would mediate the path between sibling-focused parentification and sibling relationships. Model 2 tested the same paths by comparing siblings of persons with mental disorders (n = 262) and siblings of typically developing persons (n = 303). From March to May 2021, 565 siblings of persons with and without mental disorders were asked to fill in an online survey. Aged 19 to 26 years, most of the siblings who participated in the study were older females. Cross-sectional results showed that the lower sibling-focused parentification was, the higher quality sibling relationships were, through the mediating role of lower distress and higher-quality parent-typically developing sibling relationships (Model 1). Siblings of persons with mental disorders reported low-quality sibling relationships (Model 2). Females and young siblings showed high distress. The findings of this study could become instrumental in promoting high-quality sibling relationships and best practices.
