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 investigated how family science capital-comprising cultural, practice, and social dimensions-shapes early childhood science learning. Despite growing interest in informal science education, prior research has often overlooked the complex, interactive, and context-dependent nature of family science capital. Using a four-dimensional learning framework and the PRISMA method, this review synthesized findings from 56 studies to show that family science capital plays a central role in children's early science learning. It emphasizes the need to understand how different capital configurations shape outcomes and calls for targeted policy efforts to support disadvantaged families. Strengthening family science capital through collaborative, cross-sectoral strategies is essential for promoting equity and improving early science education.
