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

Introduction: This study explores how female university students perceive their mothers' narcissistic traits and investigates the relationship between these perceptions and the students' emotional balance. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used. The sample included 416 female students aged 18 -24 from King Faisal University. Two tools were utilized: the Narcissistic Mother Scale and the Emotional Balance Scale developed by the researcher. Results: Overall, students perceived their mothers' narcissism as low, except for the "excitability" dimension, which scored moderate. Emotional balance levels among students were also moderate. A significant negative correlation was found between perceived maternal narcissism and emotional balance. "Intolerance" was the strongest predictor of emotional imbalance, followed by "exploitative Ness." Discussion: These findings suggest that higher levels of perceived maternal narcissism may negatively influence daughters' emotional balance, highlighting the potential impact of maternal personality traits on young women's emotional development.
