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
backgroundChildren's health affects all aspects of family health, and mental disorders add to the care burden of families. To provide care to these children, it is essential to empower families, which can increase their competencies. Considering this issue, the present study will be conducted with the aim of designing and developing an empowerment program for families of children with mental disorders. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis mixed-method study was conducted in three phases. To develop a family empowerment program, in the first phase, a qualitative study is conducted via semistructured interviews to identify the needs of families of children with mental disorders. Data analysis will be performed via conventional content analysis via the Granheim and Landman method. The second phase will be carried out in three stages: reviewing the literature, prioritizing needs, and developing the initial version of the family empowerment program. In the third phase, the feasibility of the developed program will be evaluated via validated questionnaires before and 3 months after the intervention in two groups of families as a randomized field superiority trial study. In this step, the data will be analyzed via STATA 14 software. For the obtained data, descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and ANCOVA tests will be used to evaluate the results. DISCUSSION: Knowing the views of caregivers and people providing health services to children with mental disorders and their families to create a real and evidence-based empowerment plan, considering the sociocultural goals of society, can potentially help reduce the care burden of these families. The results of studies in this field can help policymakers improve access and equality, guarantee the uniformity of the quality of care, ensure the long-term durability of services, and correct the gaps in empowering families with children with mental disorders.
