Article in Family process, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Researchers have extensively documented the financial, social, emotional, and psychological challenges that families of incarcerated people face, and there are growing calls for programs and services to help these families confront the collateral consequences of imprisonment. This article uses data from an ethnographic study exploring how family members of people in prison constructed and leveraged communities of support to help them cope with the stressors of having an incarcerated loved one. Drawing on 8 months of observations of a support group for families of people in prison and in-depth interviews with eight participants in this support group, we present findings related to family members' perspectives on the challenges they face, their reasons for joining the support group, and the group's strengths and limitations. Based on these findings, we argue that support groups for families of incarcerated people should be facilitated by trained professionals who are well versed in the unique traumas associated with contact with the criminal legal system.
