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

Drawing on Conservation of Resources Theory and the Emotion Socialization Model, this study examines the associations between parents' perceptions of their adolescent's academic burnout and their own affective parenting behaviors-specifically acceptance and empathy. It further explores the potential mediating roles of emotion regulation difficulties and parenting self-efficacy. Using cluster sampling, questionnaire data were collected from 516 parents of high school students in Central China, with key variables measured using standardized scales. The results indicated that higher levels of perceived adolescent academic burnout were associated with lower levels of parental acceptance and empathy. A further chain mediation analysis suggested that emotion regulation difficulties and parenting self-efficacy sequentially mediated this relationship. Specifically, greater emotion regulation difficulties were linked to lower parenting self-efficacy, which was in turn associated with reduced engagement in positive emotion socialization behaviors. This study contributes to the application of family systems theory in the context of parent-child interactions and offers theoretical and practical implications for enhancing parental support in addressing adolescents' academic stress.
