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

Previous research suggests that parenting may change with children's age, yet few studies have explored the heterogeneous developmental trajectories of parental psychological control and supportive parenting during early adolescence, and their implications for adolescent adjustment. This study employed a longitudinal accelerated design, with 4731 Chinese students from two cohorts (Grades 4 and 5; 44.9% girls; M = 10.91 years, SD = 0.72) assessed at four time points. Latent class growth modeling identified four trajectories of psychological control (increasing-decreasing, decreasing-increasing, high-stable, and low-stable) and three trajectories of supportive parenting (continually low, continually moderate, and continually high). Significant differences in internalizing and externalizing problems were found across the identified parenting trajectories. These findings underscore the importance of capturing heterogeneity in parenting patterns to better understand their developmental course and implications for adolescent mental health.
