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 role of pandemic-induced changes in family relationships and maternal prepandemic depression in mother-child reminiscing during the pandemic and how this reminiscing in turn related to child outcomes. Mother-preschooler dyads (N = 69) were recruited from a larger longitudinal study, with 45% of mothers having a history of major depressive disorder before the pandemic. The dyads discussed the most positive and negative events (nominated by the mother) that the child experienced during the lockdown period. Mothers' emotion-related utterances were coded for emotion coaching and narrative style. Mothers also reported changing family relationships (family togetherness, household disagreements) during the pandemic prior to the reminiscing task. A principal component analysis on maternal emotion coaching and narrative style revealed two factors:
