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

While parental psychological control and autonomy support have been studied as separate developmental processes in adolescence, their joint trajectories and combined effects on adolescent adjustment remain unclear. This study included 996 Chinese adolescents (Age (T1) = 12.53 ± 0.37, 49.6% boys) who were assessed at three time points with annual intervals. Parallel-process latent class growth modeling revealed four joint developmental trajectories: Stable-Supportive Parenting (31.4%), Increasing-Adaptive Parenting (8.7%), Eroding-Support Parenting (48.6%), and Unilateral-Control Parenting (11.2%). These trajectories demonstrated differential associations with adolescent outcomes, including internalizing and externalizing problems, prosocial behavior, and flourishing. The findings provide valuable insights into autonomy-related parenting processes and highlight practical implications for targeted interventions aimed at promoting optimal adolescent adjustment.
