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
backgroundParental educational styles condition the development of emotional intelligence in the educational context. The aim of this study is to develop a structural equation model (SEM) to assess the causal relationship between parenting styles and emotional intelligence according to gender in primary school students.
methodThis cross-sectional, exploratory and non-experimental study was conducted among 647 primary school students in Spain. A structural equation model was developed using maximum likelihood estimation, with goodness-of-fit tests (IFI, CFI, NFI, TLI; RMSEA). A multigroup analysis was also conducted to compare differences based on gender.
resultsThe SEM presented acceptable fit indices (IFI = 0.900; CFI = 0.888; NFI = 0.925; TLI = 0.901; RMSEA = 0.073). A negative causal relationship of paternal criticism-rejection was found on emotional recognition (β = - 0.154; p < 0.05), while the maternal affection-communication style showed positive effects on emotional recognition (β = 0.084; p < 0.05), emotional control (β = 0.184; p < 0.05), and empathy (β = 0.164; p < 0.05). The multigroup analysis presented a moderating effect of gender, with stronger maternal causal relationship on girl's emotional recognition (β = 0.186; p < 0.05) and on boys' emotional control (β = 0.266; p < 0.05) and empathy (β = 0.193; p < 0.05).
conclusionsIt is highlighted that parental practices based on affection play a relevant role in the development of emotional skills in childhood. Finally, the need to include a gender perspective in future actions aimed at both families and educational centres is highlighted.
