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
Based on ecological systems theory, adolescents' school climates can influence family interactions. In this study, it was tested whether associations between adolescents' and parents' perceptions of school climate in 7th grade (Wave 1) and adolescents' later psychological functioning in 11th grade (Wave 4) were partially mediated by parental self-efficacy and parenting practices when the adolescents were in 8th grade (Wave 3). Path analyses were conducted in MPlus v. 7.4. Among 660 Black American families from the Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study, adolescents' positive perceptions of school climate were directly related to fewer internalizing and externalizing symptoms, higher resourcefulness, and higher self-esteem. Adolescents' perceptions of school climate were also indirectly related to their externalizing symptoms through parent-adolescent communication and conflict. Adolescents who reported more positive school climates reported higher parent-adolescent communication and lower parent-adolescent conflict. Adolescents' reports of school climate were also indirectly associated with self-esteem. Parents' perceptions of school climate were not directly related to adolescents' psychological functioning but were directly related to parental self-efficacy and parent-adolescent communication. They were also indirectly related to adolescents' externalizing symptoms through parental self-efficacy. Parental self-efficacy was positively related to parent-adolescent communication and parents' home-based school involvement. Overall, the findings highlight the role of school context in adolescents' psychological functioning and family processes.
