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 soothing resources can increase parents' confidence in practicing safe soothing techniques. However, there is a dearth of resources that help immigrant parents gain confidence. Understanding the soothing experiences of immigrant mothers can provide important insight into how to develop culturally sensitive soothing resources for them. In this study, we addressed the question, 'What are immigrant mothers' experiences with child soothing in Vancouver, Canada?'
methodsWe used tenets of post-structural feminist theory and feminist methodologies to inform our approach and conducted three focus groups with 23 mothers who had at least one child aged 0-5 years.
resultsTwo discourses were identified through a critical discourse analysis: (a) feminising care: gendered mothering ideals can isolate immigrant mothers and (b) cultural silencing: dominant cultural ideals for soothing can subjugate non-conformative practices.
conclusionsSocietal pressures on women to soothe children can elicit feelings of isolation, sadness and concern for immigrant mothers, who can lack social supports and may not feel capable of subscribing to culturally idealised practices. Findings can be used to inform the cultural competency of injury prevention resource development to address unique cultural and gender-sensitive needs of immigrant mothers.
