Parentification and the family system in female adolescents of the second year of high school.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundParentification in female students can lead to numerous physical and psychological issues. However, the relationship between family systems and parentification has not yet been explored. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate this relationship in female adolescents. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 124 female high school students in their second year in Shiraz, Iran, selected through convenience sampling. The participants completed the Parentification Inventory and the Family System Test (FAST).
findingsThe results showed no significant relationship between the mean scores of family system and total parentification score in participants (p > 0.05), except for the ideal cohesion between father and adolescent (p = 0.009). There was a significant relationship between age and parentification (p < 0.001). An inverse and significant relationship was found between the ideal cohesion of father-adolescent and mother-adolescent, as well as between the real power of adolescent-father and adolescent-mother (p < 0.05). The mean scores of parentification, perceived fairness, emotional parenting, and instrumental parenting were higher in the 18-year-old age group compared to other age groups (p < 0.05).
conclusionWhile no significant relationship was found between family system and parentification in adolescents, those who take on parental responsibilities within the family tend to feel less cohesion with their mother and perceive the father's power as low. Given the social and psychological risks faced by female adolescents, it is recommended to implement empowerment programs for these families and provide support for female adolescents.
