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

It is well-established in previous research that maternal psychological distress may have adverse effects on child social and emotional development. However, less is known about the environmental protective factors on child outcomes. This study aimed to explore the moderating role of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) participation on the associations between maternal long-term prenatal, postnatal or current psychological distress and child social and emotional problems and competence. A total of 1,191 children (M
