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: Research has shown that parenting style disparities have a significant impact on the mental health of college students. However, the underlying reasons behind this phenomenon have not been sufficiently explored. This study systematically examines the impact of parenting style disparities on the mental health of medical college students from the perspective of positive psychology and analyzes the mediating effects of positive psychological qualities. Method: This study administered questionnaires to 3,387 medical students in Wuhu, China, all of whom came from two-parent families. Specifically, the Short-Egna Minnen av. Barndoms Uppfostran for Children (s-EMBU-C) questionnaire was used to assess parenting style disparities, whereas the SCL-90 scale was utilized to evaluate mental health problems. Additionally, the Chinese College Student Positive Psychological Quality Scale was employed to assess positive psychological qualities. The hypothesis is proposed that positive psychological qualities mediate the relationship between parenting style disparities and mental health problems, and the bootstrap method was employed to examine the mediating effect. Additionally, a multivariate linear regression model was utilized to identify the factors associated with mental health problems. Results: The study revealed a significant positive correlation between parenting style disparities and mental health problems ( Conclusion: Parenting style disparities significantly negatively predict positive psychological qualities in medical college students, whereas positive psychological qualities significantly negatively predict mental health problems. Positive psychological qualities play a partial mediating role between parenting style disparities and mental health problems among medical college students. The main findings emphasize the importance of consistent parenting styles and the cultivation of positive psychological qualities for the mental health of medical college students.
