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

Boys are known to take more risks than girls, which may lead them to suffer more injuries than girls when exploring their physical surroundings. The aims of this study are to verify whether the father-child activation relationship has a greater effect than the mother-child activation relationship on preschoolers' risk-taking, and whether both of these relationships are a greater predictor of risk-taking in boys than in girls. Activation relationships were assessed using a standardized observation procedure at 15 and 45 months old with each parent. Both parents completed a questionnaire on their child's injury-risk behaviors during the preschool years. Both predictions were supported. Moreover, this longitudinal study found that preschoolers' risk-taking was predicted by mother-child overactivation in both infancy and preschool, whereas preschoolers' risk-taking was predicted by father-child overactivation in preschool alone, after controlling for parent-child overactivation relationships during infancy.
