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

Objective: This project aimed to co-create a culturally responsive parenting program integrating Indigenous perspectives through Wayapa Wuurrk, an Aboriginal Earth mindfulness wellbeing practice. Embedded within a parenting app (Daily Growth), the resource supports diverse parents and carers of children aged 2-5years to respond to common parenting challenges. Methods: Guided by Indigenous governance and a Two-Eyed Seeing framework, the co creation process engaged Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, content designers and Wayapa Wuurrk practitioners with early years' experience. Cultural responsiveness was ensured through yarning, deep listening (Dadirri), and relational accountability, overseen by a Wisdom Circle of five Aboriginal Wayapa Wuurrk practitioners recognised as Senior Knowledge Holders or Elders. Indigenous knowledges central to Wayapa Wuurrk were adapted into 30 common parenting scenarios and delivered as brief, video-based micro-interventions. Results: The co-created parenting resources provide culturally relevant, Earth-centred parenting strategies that support children's emotional regulation. The inclusion of Wayapa Wuurrk iconography, storytelling and earth-mindfulness enrich program accessibility and relevance. Conclusion: Integrating Wayapa Wuurrk within Daily Growth demonstrates the value of Two-Eyed Seeing by weaving Indigenous knowledges with Western parenting approaches, strengthening culturally inclusive support for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait and non-Indigenous families. Future research will evaluate impacts on parent and child wellbeing.
