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
Social-emotional competence in early childhood is critical in shaping later academic achievement, interpersonal functioning, and long-term psychosocial development. While prior research has emphasized the importance of parenting practices, limited attention has been paid to how family dynamics and broader ecological interactions jointly contribute to this competence. Grounded in Social-Ecological Systems Theory, the present study investigated the association between family intimacy and preschoolers' social-emotional competence, with psychological resilience as a mediator and family-preschool interaction as a moderator. A total of 2768 preschoolers aged 3 to 6 years from four provinces in China were assessed through parent-report questionnaires. Regression-based moderated mediation analyses revealed that family intimacy was positively associated with preschoolers' social-emotional competence, directly and indirectly through psychological resilience. Moreover, family-preschool interaction moderated the pathway between family intimacy and psychological resilience, such that this association was stronger when family-preschool interactions were more frequent. These findings highlight the joint contribution of family relationships, individual strengths, and external developmental contexts to young children's social-emotional development. Implications include supporting emotionally connected family environments, promoting resilience in early childhood, and strengthening home-preschool partnerships to foster holistic developmental outcomes.
