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

Background: While the detrimental intergenerational effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-documented, the potential developmental benefits associated with parental positive childhood experiences (PCEs) warrant further clarification, particularly concerning the social competence of offspring. The present study examines the relationship between parental PCEs and social skills in preschool-aged children, as well as the moderating role of the home-rearing environment. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in three kindergartens in Xuzhou, Shangqiu, and Tianjin, representing the eastern and northern regions of mainland China. The study included 320 Chinese preschoolers (mean age = 4.76 years, SD = 1.01) and their parents. Parental PCEs were assessed using the Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale, children's social skills were measured with the Social Skills Scale, and the home-rearing environment was evaluated using the Index of Child Care Environment. Results: The findings demonstrated a significant positive association between parental PCEs and social skills in children ( Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of incorporating both parental experiences and family environments in interventions aimed at fostering children's social development.
