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
This study explores readiness for change (RFC) in infant and early childhood education through the perspectives of infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) consultants and social-emotional (SEL) coaches. Specifically, this research examines how these professionals perceive educators' RFC, identify barriers and facilitators to engagement, and implement strategies to tailor intervention efforts based on educators' individual levels of readiness. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 IECMH consultants and SEL coaches in the southeastern United States, with demographic data indicating a predominantly female sample, diverse in racial backgrounds and professional experience. Thematic analysis identified key themes, including the importance of individualized approaches, supportive relationships, and the influence of both structural and internal barriers on educators' RFC. Findings underscore the need for validated measures of RFC and suggest that enhancing RFC may strengthen the impact of IECMHC and practice-based coaching interventions. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in fostering RFC and offer practical implications for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers.
