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
backgroundKidstime workshops were conceptualized as a low-threshold intervention for children of parents with mental illness (COPMI).
methodsKidstime workshops were set up at eleven locations throughout Germany. The multi-center eligibility study employed a pre-post-design. In addition to selected capability items, clinical scales were analyzed.
resultsThe preliminary results demonstrated significant improvements in the children's distress and impairment as well as improvements in parental psychopathology and psychosocial functioning. There were also improvements in capability-based measures of psychological integrity and resilience, participation, life motivation and satisfaction in both children and parents. Our analysis suggests that Kidstime workshops can be more effective at improving capabilities, with better resource-benefit ratio compared with nationwide data of general child support interventions.
conclusionThe preliminary results suggest that Kidstime workshops show therapeutic potential by improving wellbeing and participation for both COPMI and their parents. The Kidstime workshops address an important gap in support for COPMI by implementing a multi-family-based approach in the families' social environment and providing cross-system delivery with low costs and few hours of investment.
