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

backgroundOver-adaptation is defined as an individual's attempt to conform to the demands and expectations of the environment in a near-perfect form, and the effort to meet external expectations and demands, even if internal needs are forcibly suppressed. This phenomenon is particularly evident in collectivist cultural contexts influenced by Confucian values, where harmonious interpersonal relationships are frequently prioritized over individual autonomy. In China, specifically, cultural norms such as filial piety and a strong emphasis on academic achievement in family education contribute significantly to adolescents' vulnerability to over-adaptation during identity formation. This study investigates the impact of Chinese parenting styles on adolescents' over-adaptation.

conclusionsThis study enhances understanding of how parenting styles influence over-adaptation and provides actionable guidance for parents, such as replacing punitive discipline with autonomy-supportive communication (e.g., collaborative problem-solving) to mitigate over-adaptation risks.
