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.
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
Introduction: Young children's emotional and behavioral problems represent a significant public health concern globally. This study investigated the underlying mechanisms of parental intimacy quality and young children's emotional and behavioral problems, focusing on the roles of parenting stress and parent-child relationship. We hypothesized that: (1) Parenting stress plays a mediating role in the relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children's emotional and behavioral problems; (2) Parent-child relationship plays a mediating role in the relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children's emotions and problem behaviors; (3) Parenting stress and the parent-child relationship play a chain mediating role in the relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children's emotional and behavioral problems. Method: An online survey was administered to 1868 young children's parents in Fujian province, China, using convenience sampling methods. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with the software Mplus 7.4 to examine the relationships between parental intimacy quality, parenting stress, parent-child relationship and young children's emotional and behavioral problems. Results: The findings indicated that (1) parenting stress plays a mediating role in the relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children emotional and behavioral problems; (2) parent-child relationship plays a mediating role in the relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children emotional and behavioral problems; (3) parenting stress and parent-child relationship play a chain mediating role in the relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children's emotional and behavioral problems. Conclusion: Our study highlights the close relationship between parental intimacy quality and young children's emotional and behavioral problems, in which context parenting stress and parent-child relationship play a vital role.
