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

Raising children in a foreign cultural context presents unique challenges for immigrant parents. This study explores parenting perceptions, practices, and self-efficacy among Korean American (KA) immigrant parents, with a focus on differences between Korean-speaking (KS) and English-speaking (ES) parents. A community-based, mixed-methods needs assessment was conducted in partnership with a KA community organization and Korean language schools. Twenty-two KA parents of children aged 0-5 years (13 KS, 9 ES) participated in surveys and focus groups. Independent t-tests were used to examine differences in parenting practices, child behavioral concerns, and parental self-efficacy. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret qualitative data. Compared to ES parents, KS parents reported significantly lower parenting self-efficacy, less engagement in positive parenting practices, and less quality time spent with their children. Qualitative findings highlighted language as a critical factor shaping parenting approaches, discipline strategies, and perceptions of parental competence. These results underscore the importance of designing culturally and linguistically responsive parenting interventions that address within-group differences among KA immigrant families, particularly to promote equitable early childhood development and parenting support.
