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

backgroundAutistic children are likely to have reduced prosocial behavior. Parental emotional management has been reported to exert a significant impact on offspring behavior and relationships during their lifespan. This study aimed to examine the network characteristics of parental awareness of children's emotions and emotion coaching, and their associations with the prosocial behavior of Chinese autistic children.

methodsThree hundred parents of autistic children completed measures assessing emotion awareness, emotion coaching, and their children's prosocial behavior. Central and bridge nodes were assessed using Expected influence (EI) and bridge EI, respectively. A flow network of pro-social behavior in autistic children was used to identify specific links to parental emotion awareness and emotion coaching.

resultsNetwork analyses identified that EC3 ("Solve the child's sadness problems"), EC7 ("Get close when the child is sad"), and EC2 ("Experience anger with the child") are central nodes in the network of parental awareness of children's emotions and emotion coaching. EAC1 ("Aware of the child's unspoken feelings"), EC7 ("Get close when the child is sad"), and EAC2 ("Easy to know the child's feelings") are critical bridge nodes linking emotion awareness and emotion coaching. Additionally, prosocial behavior in autistic children demonstrated the strongest positive correlation with EAC3 ("Easy to know the child's worries") and the strongest negative correlation with EC5 ("Anger is worth exploring").

conclusionThese findings provide insights into visualizing the emotion awareness and coaching of Chinese parents of autistic children, highlighting the strong connection between parental emotional management skills and the development of children's prosocial behavior.
