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.

Abstract
backgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents is linked to adverse outcomes for youth and their families. While parental involvement is considered essential in treating adolescent NSSI, the effects on parents remain unclear.
objectiveTo evaluate if Internet-delivered Emotion Regulation Individual Therapy for Adolescents (IERITA) adjunctive to treatment as usual (TAU) is superior to TAU alone in improving parental coping with adolescents' negative emotions, the durability of potential effects and whether reductions in parents' minimising of their adolescent's emotions mediate adolescent outcomes.
methods166 adolescents with NSSI disorder (93% female; mean (SD) age=15.0 (1.2) years) and their parents (83% female; mean (SD) age=46.5 (5.1) years) were randomised to IERITA plus TAU (n=84) or TAU-only (n=82). IERITA is a 12-week, therapist-guided emotion regulation behavioural therapy, including both adolescents and parents. In parallel to the adolescent, parents participate in a separate internet-delivered course designed to provide skills for understanding and supporting their adolescent. The outcomes were parental coping measured by the Coping with Children's Negative Emotions Scale-Adolescent version, including minimisation (primary outcome), distress, punitive and expressive encouragement responses at baseline, post-treatment (primary endpoint) and 3 months post-treatment. Parental minimisation was tested as a mediator of adolescent NSSI absence and emotion regulation difficulties.
findingsThere were statistically significant treatment effects on parental minimisation and distress responses at post-treatment and 3 months post-treatment, and punitive responses at 3 months post-treatment, favouring IERITA. Parental minimisation did not mediate adolescent NSSI absence or emotion regulation difficulties.
conclusionIERITA shows promise for supporting parents of youth with NSSI. Further studies are needed to understand how parental improvement may impact youth with NSSI. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Online family treatment for NSSI can improve how parents handle their adolescents' emotions. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03353961.
