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

This study examined the effectiveness of the Parenting CARE Program, a virtual, synchronously delivered parenting intervention aimed at improving child emotion regulation (ER) by enhancing parental ER and emotion socialization (ES) skills. In a pilot randomized controlled trial, 105 parents of children aged 8 to 13 were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 57) or control group (n = 48). Two-way mixed ANOVAs were used to evaluate changes in parental ES, parental ER, and child ER from T1 to T2. A significant interaction between time and group was found for overall parent emotion dismissing scores, showing a greater decrease in parents' dismissing responses to their child's emotions for the intervention group compared to the control group. The difference between intervention and control emotion dismissing scores was observed to be approaching significance at T2. No significant time x group interactions were observed for overall supportive ES behaviours, parent ER difficulties, or child ER difficulties, despite improvements observed over time for the intervention group across parent and child ER difficulties. Secondary analyses revealed significant reductions in punitive and overriding ES behaviours for the intervention group, compared to the control group. The intervention demonstrated feasibility, with 75% of participants completing at least four sessions, and high satisfaction rates were reported by participants. These findings suggest potential benefits of the intervention in improving parent ES, parent ER, and child ER, although further research is needed to explore long-term effects.
