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
Prosocial behavior is an important manifestation of socialization in young children. As the primary setting for socialization of young children, the family bears the significant responsibility of fostering prosocial behavior in young children. Drawing on family systems theory and Goleman's emotional intelligence theory, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between parenting styles and children's prosocial behavior and the mediating role of children's emotional intelligence in it. In this study, an online questionnaire was distributed to 869 young children's parents using the Parenting Style Questionnaire, Children's Prosocial Behavior Questionnaire, and Children's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. The results indicated that democratic parenting style positively influenced children's prosocial behavior, while indulgent parenting style, permissive parenting style and inconsistent parenting style negatively impacted it. Authoritarian parenting style had no significant effect on children's prosocial behavior. Children's emotional intelligence mediated the relationship between parenting styles and prosocial behavior. This study explored factors influencing children's prosocial behavior from both external family systems and internal individual perspectives and revealed their underlying mechanisms, providing theoretical support for research and educational practice on children's prosocial behavior.
