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 explores the characteristics of stepparent-adolescent interaction as experienced by emerging adults who lived with a stepparent as they progressed through adolescence. Data were collected using in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The sample included 18 socio-demographically diverse emerging adults (i.e., ages 18-25) who acquired and lived with a stepparent at some point from age 10 onward. Reflexive thematic analysis yielded 14 distinct stepparent-adolescent interaction types: tending to adolescent's academic activities, tending to adolescent's extracurricular activities, tending to adolescent's personal and social life, tending to family relationship dynamics, stepparent providing emotional support, stepparent providing practical support, stepparent involvement in discipline, stepparent-adolescent conflict, stepparent self-disclosure, engaging in instrumental tasks or family routines, engaging in recreational activities, casual touchpoints, expressing affection, and adolescent providing support. Analysis also yielded 10 distinct stepparent-adolescent interaction attributes: social context, tone, agency, fluidity, timing, function, depth, benefit, interest, and initiative. Practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
