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
purposeThis study explores mothers' lived experiences of caring for preschool children (aged 3-6) in environments affected by fine dust. The study aims to uncover how mothers perceive their protective roles and navigate challenges stemming from environmental health concerns.
methodsA descriptive phenomenological design guided by Colaizzi's method was employed. Nine Korean mothers with active fine-dust-protection behaviors participated in semi-structured, in-depth interviews conducted between April 2020 and March 2021. Data collection continued until saturation.
resultsAnalysis yielded 455 significant statements, 109 formulated meanings, 34 themes, 14 theme clusters, and five overarching categories. The core phenomenon, "Becoming a shield," encapsulates the mothers' relentless commitment to protecting their children. Key themes include awareness of fine dust health risks, active problem solving, serving as a protective barrier, confronting practical limitations, and embracing innovative strategies.
conclusionFindings underscore the need for tailored fine-dust response guidelines and educational programs that integrate accurate environmental health information with psychological support for mothers. Healthcare practitioners and policymakers should develop interventions enhancing maternal self-efficacy and resilience, thereby promoting sustained protective behaviors and safeguarding child health in polluted environments.
