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.

However, prior research has predominantly focused on intra-family mechanisms while giving insufficient attention to the mediating role of social capital and the broader community context. Using an interdisciplinary perspective between psychology and sociology, this study examined how parental psychological capital influences adolescent psychological capital through social capital and explored the moderating effect of community type. This cross-sectional study collected survey data from 502 families in Shanghai, each comprising one high school student and both parents (total
